What do we need to be happy?
What do we need to be happy? A good question. We all pursue happiness, but happiness may be different from one person to the other person. Is there any universal factor that makes people happier? If so, what is it? As I did some research, I found out that it says there are 14 things that make you happy. John Lennon famously said, “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment,…
Looking back in 2020: A Year of Challenges and Gratitude
As the year 2020 ends, we may find ourselves looking back to all the events that have happened around us. Many of us wait for better days to come, for grander years to embrace. We endure only on the premise that we have to keep looking and moving forward until those better days are at our doorstep. Good and bad things have happened.

7 Misconceptions About Happiness You Should Definitely Know
Happiness. A word that everyone seems to be talking about these days. Over years, we have been taught about a lot of things that they say can make us happy. But most of them turned out to be misconceptions that we often overlook. Undeniably, this word has covered a lot of meaning throughout time. Since the ancient Greeks, happiness is attempted to be described, taping it with the word eudaimonia which means “to live well”. In an article I’ve read, modern science looks at happiness to be related to hedonism— the pursuit of pleasure. Moreover, science has established this certain concept surrounding the word, which gave birth to terms like…
Why Cutting Off People Isn’t The Best Way To Live a Happy Life
We have been hearing and reading a lot of things around the topic of self-care, finding happiness, or ways to live a happy life. There are just so many ways you can improve your own, without having to make an effort too much, and it has become as easy as ignoring those people who can’t benefit you or your happiness. Why is that? Maybe we’re just too afraid to get in touch with the negative energy that comes from those difficult people so we decide not to be around them anymore. The thing is, we are so eager to find an easy way towards living a happy life, that we…
