Happiness Trigger 12
Crazy Triggers
Many people pull crazy triggers that give them joy. However, it doesn't matter what the trigger is as long as by doing it, you become happy. Some people become truly happy with their pets. Unfortunately, if the pet dies, they don't get another pet for years. They live in a kind of sorrow or rather in the absence of joy, till they finally realize that they need a pet. The moment they get a new pet, their life is filled with happiness. What stopped them all these years? Do you have a pet? Maybe you can pull this trigger to bring you joy but you don't.
Some people truly become happy with kids around them, be it either their own or others' kids. But for some reason, their lifestyle becomes such that there are no kids around. They lose the joy that comes from kids. We are all made in such a way that the child in us never dies. This works for some and doesn't for others, but you could check if this is a trigger that can bring joy in your life. It sure does in mine. Playing with kids gives me tremendous joy.
Another sure way to happiness is to travel. Travel to your favorite destination. It works beautifully for me. Whenever I want to be really happy, I just plan a trip to one of my natural havens – a beach, a mountain or a beautiful lake.
Do you want to be happy? Then maybe, you need to create crazy triggers like pets, travel, kids or something else that is unique to you but is sure to make you happy.
