Are You Really Happy?

We all wish to live a happy life. But few can tell how to get happiness in this world. Experience teaches us that unmixed happiness is not a thing of this world. Happiness is defined by different people in different ways. When we feel positive emotions we tend to feel happy. That is what happiness is all about. Happiness is also regarded as the mental state of a person in an optimistic manner. We live in a world where negativity is trying to take over happiness. With the help of social media, everyone is trying to portray himself/ herself as best by either putting up the best of his/her moments of life or by glorifying his/her routine as exceptional with the help of social media tools.

The reason it can be difficult to focus on the main thing is that your “main thing” may be different from someone else’s. Why is focus important? Focus means putting your attention on something. The other side of this is that it requires you to take your attention off of something else. In other words, to create time to focus on the main thing, we must take the time away from our less important, distracting things. First, you have to determine what is “the main thing” in your life.

Can the world manage the effects of cyclones, earthquakes, if meteorological departments don't predict the intensity and other things?
