The three grand essentials to Happiness

“Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” – Joseph Addison An empty mind is a devil's workshop. When we have nothing worthwhile to do, our mind starts wandering around. Many times we end up recollecting something that we did not like in our past or we start imagining a future that we are anxious or worried about. In either case, we end up losing our peace of mind and happiness.

They were also asked to rate their happiness level. The outcome of this research showed that those who spent more on others also reported a higher level of happiness. Instead of focusing on making yourself happy, consider gifting happiness by doing or giving something to others. You will surely experience a higher level of happiness and satisfaction too.
