Sheila Riikonen about happiness

„Live life to the fullest.“

How to be happy

Lately, I have not been happy because I feel I am stuck in a situation where I have no control. To get out of this situation, I need to give up a couple of things that I love most. So I will try that path and hope it is reversible.

Recently, my strategy is to think only of the things that make me unhappy at certain times of the day. Not throughout every waking moment.

Especially with material things, I do not cling to them, and they are least of my priority. If somebody steals something from me, sometimes I let it go thinking they need that material item more than I do.

When someone leaves or dies, I think about the better place they are going, without thinking of doing harm to myself of course. I am most unhappy if my loved ones are unhappy. So I always look at happiness in the eyes of people I care and love.
