While true happiness is a state of mind, there are many who pursue fame and fortune. There are also others who follow a life without attachment to all material things. However, God is fair. All of us, rich and poor, can attain happiness and a more satisfying life. Here are the 7 ingredients:
1. Health and fitness: Health is the primary factor that allows you to carry out what you are supposed to do in order to live a happy life. Moreover when you are healthy and fit, you feel good inside out and you are full of vitality.
2. Something to do in life: Whether it’s a challenging career or doing some voluntary social work, life is more fulfilling.
3. Family: A happy home life is a very important ingredient for happiness. A place you look forward to after a hard day’s work.
4. Live within your mean: The Chinese has a proverb for it: 年年有余（nian nian you yu）. It means every year there is something (money) left over. I am not rich but I have no debt, so I sleep well at night. Be happy with what you have while you pursue the things you don’t have.
5. Lifelong learning: Make your life interesting by learning something new. Blogging is something new to me. It’s really thrilling to learn all about blogging.
6. Enjoy every moment: Savor every moment in life. Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow may not come. Enjoy the sunshine, the fresh air, the sound of chirping birds…
7. Relationships: Spend time with your friends and relatives to share jokes and ideas. It’s heartening to know that you can also count on the people around you when the need arises.
