    Smile, laugh alot, find something you like. Move on from things that make you sad. Listen to happy music, dance even if you can't even imagine yourself dancing, just go crazy. Let yourself let go of everything, meditate, scream, do something that allows your body to snap out of your current unhappy state. Find a good book. Even if your life seems awful and will never look up, you have to use life's simple tricks, find that simple beauty. Look to art, find beauty and life in everything you have or own. Find love in a pet, in a person, in a house, in a warm toasty bed, in the fire in your fireplace. I think being happy is more of something of choice than just being a lucky person who happens to be full of happiness. Even if creating happiness and love is subconiously done, there is still actions and emotions that will shape the course of your happiness and your life. Find what you love, what makes you happy. Do something good for others, smile and wave at a stranger, you will see that little bits of happiness and kindness from others will do you a lot of good. Don't dwell on the bad, instead clear your mind and allow for the good. Just remember you have to allow your body and your mind and your soul to be happy. Sometimes when I am in a funk, I feel like I am so deeply buried I can't make my way to the top, and may never, ever again. But I just like snap my fingers or something and let myself realize that its rediculous and I deserve to be happy. I tell myself that its okay to happy and I am a good, deserving person. Usually when I go out and do something on my own, independently, I regain my sense of self, and find that I can bring love and happiness to myself. Try going to the movie theaters alone, people laugh when I say this, and say how lonely that would be, but really that's just there fear speaking, the fear of being alone or what people will think. But sometimes happiness stems from just indulging yourself, going to dinner on your own, or seeing that movie, allows yourself to make decisions souly on what you want, and what will make you most happy.

    Take each day at a time... discard what is past for the past can never be brought back. Let the future worries and burden where it belongs in time. Cause the future will never be the same when you reach there.

    Think positive on all matters even the worse can be changed into happiness by a twist of a mind set.

    take care.. hope you grab the happiness within you. Cause that is the ONLY place you can find..

Go out to a club or a nice restaurant. Treat yourself.... Give yourself something nice, Buy or find something that will make you happy. Like a old childhood toy or pictures... Or you can think about good times. It plenty of ways to make you happy.. It right there In front. Open your eyes see!!!!

    The question how to be happy sounds very simple but its not that simple because the definition of happiness defers from person to person. The best way to be happy is to enjoy every second of your life. Celebrate every lil achievements. If you have the heart to laugh on your faults i am sure you'll lead a happier life.

    Focus on all the things you've been blessed with. There are a lot of unfortunate people out there who would rather be in your shoes. One way you could find happiness is by doing good deeds for others. If you put a smile on their face, I'm sure a smile will automatically form on your own. :) It's always healthy to be around other people!

    Happiness is a choice!! Everything in life is your choice. Find it within yourself!! When you see things through a negative point of view, that is your choice, try to see another viewpoint. When life deals you lemons, make lemonade! Learn to go on through hard times with a good attitude. Attitude is everything. Learn to change and accept the things you can't change and change what you can. Have the wisdom to know what can and can't be changed.

    A Reggie singer put it simply, "Don't worry, be happy"!
