Happiness isn't something that you are born with. Happiness is something that happens through a series of experiences, habits and realizations over the course of your life.

This article isn't intended to be a solution to try and resolve the problems of those who are clinically depressed, but a series of things I have learned over the course of my life that have shaped the way I look at life and the world.

In my experience, the more positive habits you have in your life, the more emotional happiness you will experience.

Instead of standing on my soapbox and telling you things you should do to increase your emotional satisfaction, I’ve created a list of bad habits you should try to correct.

Not only will eliminating these habits make you happier, they will also make you a better person.
