    How to be truly happy

     

    How to be happy and wealthy. what is happiness ? what is wealth. I have found true happiness a long time ago and I thought it was time to share what I have found to be true happiness.

    I in my life have found that true happiness lies within us all.I witnessed true happiness when I was a child my mothers father seemed to be truly happy and it was years after he passed that I understood why and how he became truly happy.

    My grandfather was a man who was satisfied.

    he never wanted for much except the necessities in life food,clothes a roof over his head and a warm bed.

    My grandfather never took more than he needed.

    So I have found true happiness by never wanting anything because my neighbor or friends have one.Only taking what I need.Appreciating what I have not what I could acquire and with that I have become happy and wealthy.It is kind of funny really all the things we want that we think we need really drain our pocket book .I will have to admit I would have never thought living like a minimalist could make one truly happy but It has worked for me over the last 10 years living on only what I need and not wanting for anything more removes all the added cost and stress and worry. thanks for reading this have a great day
