10 Signs You’re Happy From The Happiest People I’ve Ever Met
#2. They don’t tell everyone they’re happy.
Are you happy?
It’s a surprisingly complex question because many of us get happiness wrong: We think happiness equals “pleasure” and “excitement,” but those things are fleeting and just leave you wanting more. True happiness, however, is the peace of mind that comes from dropping the desires, cravings, and attachments that block your joy in the first place.
“Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”
— Henry David Thoreau
I’ve had the privilege of meeting truly happy people and I’ve noticed they all share a number of similar traits. In this article, I’ll share the 10 most common ones and how they can reveal a lot about your inner joy. You might not do all of these or you might not do them all the time, but that’s okay. (I sure don’t.) But hopefully, they can show how you’re feeling inside and help guide you to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
