How I have increased my happiness and how you can do the same

I have increased my happiness through a very simple process. This process helps me relax and create change in my life. Over time I hope to increase my happiness even more, exponentially more and never revert back to old level of depression and unhappiness. 

The only logical pursuit is happiness

If you look around, everyone is searching for something. Everyone wants more and is not content with the lives they are living. Nearly everyone is unhappy with the majority of their life. They might find happiness briefly, but in the long term they/we are always in the pursuit of happiness.

Handling failure.

For many of us, failure brings dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Failure is seen as a bad thing, but why not look at failure as a good thing. Learn from it and never make the mistake again. Nothing good comes from getting down on yourself about it.

We are all the same species, so our ultimate goal in life is to (well reproduce, but) work together and progress as a species. Right now it seems like everything is a competition and we are working against many other subdivisions of our same species.(such as different religions)

Benefits of meditation

Meditation helps every aspect of life, and the benefits are amazing.  There are tons of benefits recently proven by science. So here are a few.

Simple guide to Meditation

The act of meditating is simply sitting down and being aware of the present moment. It is not getting caught up in the stories of our lives and simply sitting back and watching our thoughts as they pass by. Meditating quiets the mind, but not in the way that you would think. Meditation doesn’t involve sitting and thinking about nothing, but merely watching everything LIVE as it happens.

Find constant motivation

Your life needs purpose. If you don’t have a purpose for your actions, then you will probably end up doing what is the easiest and not what is the best for you. To find constant motivation, we need to ask ourselves
