It has always been beautiful to look for ways to be happy. Being happy is not a thing that should be taken from us. Do not let others take it away from you. Instead, love more yourself to achieve more happiness.

• Two parts of unselfishness

Just like in the saying by Richard Aldington, "...a tiny dose of unselfishness could make this goodly earth into an earthly paradise."

Being grateful to what you have and being unselfish can brighten up one's day The reason is that, the more grateful you are and the more that you are unselfish, you are attracting positive vibes. The more positive vibes you attract, the better the outcome of your day.

"Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live; it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it."

Oscar Wilde

• One part of patience.

Having patience is indeed a must have quality because it does not only make our day good, it will also make us a better person. Just like in the saying, "patience is a virtue."

This is the ability to wait for something—especially to wait out a difficult period or a time full of trials and tribulations—without getting angry, upset, anxious, or frustrated is something to strive for.

"A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else."

George Savile

• Plenty of industry.

Each one of us must have to have a great outlook, and we must take minimal steps to get there. It connotes humbleness, and we have to be humble as we do an activity.

Exert effort and love to what we are doing so that we will be able to enjoy the day while doing the things we are doing.

• Lighten with good spirits.

Sometimes, we do not have to focus on personal gains just to have the best experiences in a day. It is sometimes attained just by being good with others. Remove hatred and jealousy.

Bring out the goodness in you and do not hesitate to help others who are in need. Because the one who knows what humanity is, is someone who have a good heart and having a good heart could make your day really good.

“Being a good person does not mean you have to put up with other people’s crap.” Anonymous

• Sweeten with kindness.

Kindness is priceless. It is the universal language that is comprehended beyond the boundaries. Each and every individual understands and speaks this language. An act of kindness never goes futile. If you are kind to someone it will reflect in your and his behaviour.

But do not let others abuse your kindness. As long as you are enjoying by putting kindness in everything you do, there is nothing to worry about how can you make your day good.

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Again, if you have accomplished all the required ingredients, give it a mark

"Put in smiles as thick as raisins in plum pudding and bake by the warmth which streams from a loving heart.  If this fails to make a good day, the fault is not with the recipe but with the cook."

A happy life begins with self-improvement and ends for the sense of personal fulfilment that you are accomplishing all that you are capable of achieving.

So decide what is right for you before you decide what is possible. Create your ideal life in every detail. Do not be bothered about the process of getting from where you are to where you want to go. For now, just focus on positive thinking and creating a vision of making each day good.
