What Behaviors Bring You to Happiness?

We may say that happiness is what every man wants but, each one has different ways to make him happy. But unfortunately, most people all around the world completely misunderstand about happiness. They forget their real life goals or even don’t know about that. Their ignorance is leading them to a fake happiness. Sometimes, it is hard to differentiate between fake and real things. The happiness that comes up from the deep inside the heart is supposed to be a real one. Many people try very hard to be happy by trying to earn as much money as they can without caring of right and wrong. Many of them want to be accepted, successful, good looking and whatever a man could desire. And, it is hard to explain what human needs are.

However, you may have heard about Maslow’s theory of Hierarchy of Human Needs Model. He proposed the theory in psychology by portraying human needs in the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most fundamental levels at the bottom and the need for self-actualization at the top. He classified human needs into five levels; those are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization, respectively. It is said that happiness comes from the satisfaction of what a human has.

Frankly, not all the needs Maslow proposed can bring true happiness to humans because these needs are expectations. I think that true happiness doesn’t need to come from expectation but from doing anything without expecting to receive something back in return. It means that there are so many behaviors that humans may forget to think about. The behaviors suggested below are so easy to try.
