Summary

Realize that happiness is elusive and that sometimes people are happy for really interesting reasons, not the reasons you think they are.

1. Realize that your happiness may be things that you can either fix by going after some of those key changes that you think will make you happier or remove some of the key pains in your life that prevent you from being happier. But a lot of it has to do with changing the perspective on happiness.
2. Give up excuses, negative outlooks, complaining, blaming, and worrying. And instead, get a clearer thought about what's going on in your life. Give it more energy, more responsibility, trust in yourself, and give yourself accountability.
3. Exercise, get more sleep, be with friends and family, get outside, help other people, smile, pray, or just get older. Those things will make you happier.

Challenge

Try to find one thing in your life that you think makes you very unhappy and put it in buckets. Is this something that I should tackle and change and try to get rid of to be a happier person? Or is this something that I need more perspective on, and I just have to change how I think about it.
