"Happy people have these qualities in abundance." Dan Baker, PhD, What Happy People Know
9. Altruism: Unhappy people are self-absorbed. Happy people know that being altruistic connects you to others and gives you a sense of purpose. It also helps you get outside yourself.
10. Perspective: Happy people see everything in shades of gray. They prioritize their problems. They do not lose sight of the big picture during difficult times.
11. Humor: Humor is the closest thing to enlightenment -- in that it causes an abandonment. It lifts suffering from the heart and gives it to the intellect and spirit, which can heal suffering.
12. Purpose; Happy people know they are here for a reason. They are satisfied with what they are doing.
We can all develop these qualities, and when we do, happiness finds us.
