Many times you have no control over the things that  happen to you. But you have control over what you do with their outcome.  Being happy may seem very easy especially at moments of your greatest  achievements. For example when you get your dream job or receive a  promotion. But sustained happiness is beyond physical achievements or  material possession because when you place your source of happiness on  material substances or on people you swing high or low depending on the  availability of your material source. As humans, it is natural to feel  sad when you lose something that you consider important or when you  don't seem to get what you desire but if there is a prolonged feeling of  sadness over every single issue in your life, then you need to take  note of this 7 keys to happiness.
1. Accept that you have a right  to be happy: you are not exempted from being happy. Happiness is not  reserved exclusively for certain persons. If indeed it were, then you  should be on the list
2. Do not be infected by others'  unhappiness: whatever you do, make sure you stay away from the company  of unhappy people. Those who are disgruntled, complainants and  dissatisfied persons. They will infect you with their tale of woe. Do  not stay around to even listen to them and when they come close to you,  run away!
3. Learn Happiness affirmatives and repeat them always:  write down statements that make you feel relaxed self confident and  happy. Such as: I am the best, Whatever I do is successful etc. Don't  joke about what you say concerning your situations. Use your happiness  affirmatives to counter any sad feeling.
4. Expect positive  results always: Never consider yourself unlucky or unfortunate. When you  wake up each morning anticipate a great day. Look into the mirror and  smile at the person looking back at you and wish that the person a happy  day.
5. Do not expect from others what you cannot give yourself:  if you are unhappy with your life, it usually shows in your comments and  interactions with people and they will constantly avoid you, because  unhappy people hardly attract happy people or situations.
6. Spice  up your life: find things you can do to make you happy, if you like  writing articles, do it often, if you enjoy care giving, find volunteer  groups and participate. There must be something that you enjoy doing  without a coercion from anybody. That may become your happiness master  key.
7. You must love yourself: if you love yourself, it will be  easier to attract situations that make you love yourself more. The more  you love yourself. the happier you'll be.
Conclusion
When  situations turn you down, you should insist and refuse to stay down  there. Stand back up and keep moving upwards because you have the power  to keep yourself happy since it is your right to remain so.
