Attitude And The Pursuit Of Happiness

By Lexi Delane

A good outlook will take you a long way in life. Just having hope and belief in a better future is a good outlook. This gives you a proactive attitude towards life.

Some people think that to be successful you have to be ultra competitive and step on others to reach your goals. But living in your own personal dog eat dog world causes lots of stress and hurting others causes unhappiness.

What you need to do is enjoy life and know that happiness is closer than you think. If you are not satisfied with where your life is going, it may be because you have hurt others along the way and that your conscience is bothering you. Or it could be that your ladder of success is against the wrong wall.

We each have to find our own path with a heart. We each have to live towards fulfilling our purpose. When we don't live from a sense of purpose in life, we end up making poor choices that lead us away from happiness.

Attaining happiness often depends on discovering and living from our purpose. One way to do this is to see what lights you up in the future. What is a future that calls to you? Another important thing to focus on is living in the present moment. Enjoying and paying attention to what's around you.

You cannot over rate living more in the present. Opportunities and choices surround us in each moment. Being present helps you to be proactive and make choices that move us towards the future we want.

Sure, almost nobody talks about purpose in life, but it is so important to our own well being. Discovering and living from your sense of purpose will fill you with hope and a proactive approach to the problems in life.

Peace and a satisfying life is available to us at all times. We just need to live more in the moment and have a proactive attitude about getting to our best future.
