Living by the Words - Characteristics Of Happy People-2

Ability

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.-Norman Vincent Peale

I believe everyone has unique skills and talents, and that is what makes each one of us special. And the difference between success and failure is not lack of ability but our unwillingness and lack of courage to put them into use. Success comes to those who never quit: the ones who put in their hard work and give it their best. Success comes to those people, who do the same things in a very different way. People who use their talents to its fullest are bound to be successful. Our ability to put our talents and strengths into use is what makes the difference whether you live your envisioned life or a life with no purpose.

Acceptance

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons. Jessica Lang

Acceptance implies grasping what is, instead of longing for what isn't. When we acknowledge troublesome substances, we can find whatever positive emotions and encounters might be conceivable in that circumstance. We get ourselves more settled and ready to encounter life all the more profoundly. All things being equal, acceptance must be guided by insight – to figure out how to differentiate between what we can change and what we can't.

Acceptance of our shortcomings and the issues of others causes us to be tolerant and to maintain a strategic distance from harmful sorts of feedback or judgment. By tolerating issues we turn out to be more ready to trust and commend qualities. Incomprehensibly, acknowledgment regularly prompts development since it makes a sheltered space for knowledge and comprehension.

Action

You need to know it's your actions that will make you a good person, not desire.-Matthew Quick,

It is good to dream but It is better to take a step ahead and work for achieving your dream rather than feeling proud about it. Taking action no matter how small it may be moves you forward towards achieving your envisioned desire. It doesn't matter how slow you move towards your goal as long as you keep yourself on the path of your destination. Taking action is moving from the place of wish to the place of achievement, It is your actions which will take you to the place where you can live the life you always dreamed of living, A life of fulfillment and purposes is only attained by consistent actions.

Without action a dream is a mere wish. Action is the fuel which moves the vehicle of desire towards the destination. You do not get ahead in life by accident. Sure, you may come into a fortunate situation and take advantage for years at a time. But having good luck is not a strategy. You get ahead in life by pushing through normal, stretching to be above average, and not accepting status quo. You will never be extraordinary without doing something extra. We are momentum based beings. When we keep moving forward, we thrive. When we stop, we stagnate. There’s a positive feedback loop when we keep taking action. As soon as we stop, that loop ends, and unfortunately we tend to focus on the last result we got (which was negative). But if we keep adapting, keep adjusting, keep learning, and keep trying– then with each incremental step you gain more confidence for the next attempt. We know more, we’ll know what not to do, and you’ll have a greater chance of achieving your goal.

Agreeableness

Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.- Immanuel Kant

Agreeableness is one of the ‘big five’ personality factors or traits which has for decades been the subject of psychology research. A person who is highly agreeable will exhibit pro-social forms of behavior. They are more sociable, aim to please other people and are willing to help that in need. As a result, agreeable people tend to work well as part of a team. During arguments or times of conflict, they will seek to resolve, rather than prolong, confrontation. They are friendly towards other people, tolerant of others and show more patience than those who are less agreeable. A person who is agreeable may be more trusting of others and their intentions.

Agreeable people also exhibit more altruistic behavior. They are generally thoughtful of, and kinder to, peers, are generous towards people in a disadvantaged position and are willing to help others, Agreeableness is an obvious advantage for building teams and maintaining harmony on the work floor. It’s a fact that agreeable people are more likeable than disagreeable peoples who need it.
