This is a question that a lot of us would like to know the answer.
How do you run a happy home?
Is it plausible for us to have a consistant happy home every day?
What makes a happy home? as happiness is subjective.
If happiness is subjective, that then means that it is a state of mind.
How do we influence the mindset of all the people under our roof to consistantly seek for a happy state of mind?
To answer the questions above we need to first understand what makes you happy. As some people have fun only when they see others around miserable. These are the type that depend on others misfortune to be happy.
Some have the undeniable beleive that it is up to someone else to make them happy. hence, they continiously try to seek for other people's approval and attention to be happy. This type of elation last as long as there is that attention on them.
It is such tough job to lay on someone else's shoulder each day, to depend on that individual to daily pick you up and make you happy. Imagine that person one day having an off day one day, the whole house will be like hell.
Having said that, I have walked into a house, that immidiately you enter you feel at peace with yourself. You feel reassured that all is alright in this home.
This is not a situation that is accomplished in a day or two. You need to have at least one person in the home that can have a rational mindset for each situation.
The ability to understand that when others are shouting, they are not neccessarily shouting at you, they are probably airing out their anger on someone different from the one that instigated the anger in the first place.
There is a need to take time to learn each individual under your roof. Have some discipline in the house while giving each one chance and space to grow, make their own mistakes and hopefully learn from them.
Never stop saying the truth, even when it is difficult to hear. Most of all let your character, attributes and attitude be the best example to all under your roof.
If you want a happy home, be the first to seek to be happy no matter the situation and circumstance you find yourself. Seek for positive outcomes in every situation. This is absolutely a very difficult thing to do, especially when you are not use to it. Try it for at least 21 days, seeking for positive outcome in every situation and tell us the result.
