The secret of happiness is simple, which is listening to the voice of the heart. That was Martha Beck, the writer of Finding Your Own North Star said. The more often you listen to it, the more you love and accept yourself, the easier to be happy. So, since happiness is tried by oneself, does not depend on others, just try to be happy.

In order to know whether you are happy or not, we must see the signs of a happy one:

1. Being proud with everything has been achieved
2. Everything goes on as it is hoped
3. Providing time to relax or amuse her/himself
4. Others love to be near her/him
5. Feeling to be understood by others
6. Still doing things she/he liked in the childhood
7. Giving more attention and love to others
8. Loving her/himself
9. Loving her/his body
10. Being grateful

If you almost always feel them, that means you are a happy person and love yourself. When other people complain and worry about everything, you take a lot of precious lessons from your bitter experiences. The better thing is your happiness spreads to the people around you. As you are happy, they respond you with love and respect.

If you feel them occasionally, it means, you are just half or three fourth happy. You enjoy your life and respond everything easily. And that is only an inch to be happy. So, be ready. You solve problem confidently dare to do new things and feel relaxed together with others. But you feel there is something is missing in your life. You are the only one who knows what it is. If you are able to know it, you will be peace with yourself. As you are the one who knows it, you are the one who can fulfill it til you are truly happy.

The solution is by accepting yourself and make positive changes. If you can not do it, it is enough by accepting yourself since thing that decrease your happiness is judging yourself based on people''s judgment.

if you feel them rarely, it means, you are still far away from happiness. You are criticize yourself. It is true that we, sometimes, criticize and judge ourselves too hard or negatively. Criticizing ourselves is good as long as we don not stop there. Criticism should be used as a tool to improve ourselves that life becomes better. Find positive things in you and live gratefully and you will be easier to feel happy.
