From school, everyone remembers the phrase that all happy families are alike. Of course, this proposal was followed by a sad story by Tolstoy, but if you discard the details and concentrate on happiness, you can think about it. What really brings happy people together? There are not so many secrets. There are only 17 small principles, and you, too, can count yourself among the happy people.
1. Don't think about the past. Let go of heavy thoughts and regrets, and think more about the present.
2. Learn to take responsibility for yourself. In order not to feel like someone is poisoning your life, learn independence and the ability to choose for yourself personally. This way you won't have to blame anyone for your failures, and life will become much easier.
3. Learn to build relationships. It's not easy, but love is worth the work.
4. Find a hobby. Everyday little joy from some, even a primitive activity, can change everyday life beyond recognition.
5. Choose your path. Decide what you are striving for in life, walk along it according to your principles.
