3. Actively pursue your goals. Goals you dont pursue arent goals, theyre dreams, and dreams only make you happy when youre dreaming. Pursuing goals, though, does make you happy. According to David Niven, author of 100 Simple Secrets of the Best Half of Life, People who could identify a goal they were pursuing(my italics) were 19% more likely to feel satisfied with their lives and 26 percent more likely to feel positive about themselves. So be grateful for what you have... then actively try to achieve more. If youre pursuing a huge goal, make sure that every time you take a small step closer to achieving it you pat yourself on the back. But dont compare where you are now to where you someday hope to be. Compare where you are now to where you were a few days ago. Then youll get dozens of bite-sized chunks of fulfillment--and a never-ending supply of things to be thankful for.
