As a human, I’m sure that everyone wants to be happy. Some people can do everything to give themselves what they want to be satisfied. Moreover, one of the reasons why humans have to work every day is to earn money and use it to pamper themselves. Happiness is essential to humans.

What makes me happy? I would say that it is me. In my opinion, my happiness depends on my perspective. I believe that no one has the right to mistreat me except me. Before I realized this, I used to be a very negative person. However, everyone can change and improve. After that, I’m sure that life will be happier. How can I be a positive person? I always socialize with positive people. Listening to them and exchanging ideas is a good way to improve my positive thinking.

In conclusion, if you need to be happy every moment, you need to start with yourself.
