Happiness can be derived from the simplest of things, and these 21 tips will boost your mood and your well-being.
We all just want to be happy, don’t we? But still, most of us lead hectic lives with happiness making a special appearance from time to time.
This makes us wonder, why is this happiness so short-lived? It is because we are busy chasing it. Acquiring something will surely make us happy, but that happiness will fizzle out, as eventually, we’ll find something else to chase after.
