become a writer, I have made many obstacles to myself. I was afraid people would laugh at me because they did not have a college degree. That my submission will be in a huge pile, and literary agents and editors ignore it because I do not know anyone in the publishing business. My friends and family would dangle their eyes if I wanted to finish my dreams to become loud writers.

Not everyone wants to be a writer, but how many really do it? 19459002
Instead of taking the step, I felt uncomfortable dreaming of being an author one day. It was fun to sign my Barnes and Noble shelves and sign the first book. Until a woman at a conference of writers did not ask for a simple but deep question. What do you expect?
When the words of a woman echoed in my mind, I took the first step and began to present my novel to magazines. Of course, I got the standard refusal letter that was shocked, but I continued my journey, wrote lessons and signed up for my job. The trip was not easy. Many of my fears occurred during this time. I collected enough rejection letter to wallpaper a room. I have dazzled many times and swore to write. But I pushed forward diligently. Six long years passed before my first short story. Are you happy that I persisted and finally clashed with all these confusing self-dependencies and fears?
I bet! I have been working professionally for more than 25 years. Over the years, they appeared in national journals, three books (including a publisher of McGraw Hill), three journalist awards and even my dream was true with the book Barnes and Noble

Take a trip
It's no secret that I wanted to travel so last year, according to a new survey, choosing the listed childrens presentations focused on the highest bucket list destinations. [12] Of the 12,000 boomer participants, a huge 99 percent said they were planning a leisure program last year. About half of it is planning a domestic trip for several generations of excursions, weekend excursions and holiday trips. Bucket Lists inspired 43 percent of boomers to say they are hoping internationally.
What were the boomer's bucket lists for travel? Hawaii tops the list of a dream home destination, followed by Alaska, California, Arizona and Nevada. The most important international destinations are Australia, then Italy, the United Kingdom / Ireland, France and the Caribbean. Any of these in the bucket? There is no time like the present!
Interestingly, boomers are almost as comfortable on their journey as the journey itself. Part of the entertainment is planned
Despite being happy, staying positive
can be happy if the lingering, frightening and frustrating problems arise.
The blow may be tense, , we feel disappointed, weaker, angry, and depressed. Even if some or all of our lives go well, we focus on things that go badly.
Instead of creating bad thoughts and enhancing, find a quiet, peaceful place. Think about your problems and then force them aside. As Mark Twain wisely said, "Pull your thoughts away from your trouble … from the ears, from the corner, or otherwise, how you can handle it." Research has shown that there is a strong link between creativity and better mental health. Instead of scratching your problems, do something creative and I will be forced to look in and listen to you. This will help you turn off the world and your problems for a while.
Conveniently direct your mind to focus on things that make you happy. You may remember something about your granddaughter's doing or saying, remembering one of your favorite memories, or planning a trip to the future. Or write for five reasons you can feel grateful and force yourself to concentrate on these things. Put inspirational, happy quotes on post records and spread them around the house. Again, with a little practice you can train your mind to gravitate naturally to more pleasant thoughts.
Of course, these tips will not get rid of your problems themselves but help you better cope with the challenges

The conquering turmoil cleans the way for a more productive life. Without physical obstacles such as unopened lettering, old clothes, and Tupperware cover, you'll be amazed how much you can achieve in your life.
A goal for long-term happiness rather than immediate satisfaction
Immediate self-restraint regulates the world. Think of ATMs offering instant cash, fast foods with instant food, instant internet access and entertainment, all of which have become impatient creatures that can not wait for anything.
According to a CNN article, there are two kinds of prosperity. One relies on self-realized immediate joy and requires continuous action to continuously feed positive emotions. This type of satisfaction is typically as fast as it is coming. For example, buying an expensive pair of shoes is temporarily high, but to keep this euphoric feeling, we need the next quick fix. If something endangers our ability to find this kind of personal happiness – for example, all our credit cards are out of the way – the source of our entire prosperity is in danger.
Another type of prosperity is kind of happiness that does not come from consumer products, but work on things that are bigger than ourselves, giving real meaning to life. This prosperity can bring long-term happiness.
This does not mean that we should never reward ourselves with a bowl of ice cream or a large pair of shoes as a special treat each time. We do not have to wait for us to enjoy the scene or our lives. Nevertheless, we will be happier if we develop some kind of self-control and avoid the habit of doing everything at this moment. We are constantly depressed in the long term due to the momentary desire. Advertisers became experts, convincing us that instant gratification is the key to happiness. Do not take it. Be long term satisfaction and fulfillment.
Despite the cold arctic temperatures and the months of darkness, the world's happiest men in the Scandinavian countries are the 2017 World Cup report.
Norway jumped to three places to first ask for the title of "the world's happiest country". Denmark, the previous winner for three years successively reduced the second. These countries were followed by Iceland, Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden. In case you are curious, the United States has reached 14th place and has fallen off a seat last year.
Is it possible that the Norwegians are so happy that they are related to the Danish term? Hygge is also difficult to determine, but it is loosely translated into English, and it is related to relaxation, indulgence and gratitude. But the Norwegians would probably argue that there is much more to say.
Hygge requires you to be present at a moment – be it simple, reassuring or special – providing comfort, satisfaction or enjoyment. The word suggests that you are able to enjoy the good things in life with the people you love. Hygge describes soft candlelight, comfortable meals such as pork or homemade cinnamon cakes, the fuzzy socks sitting on the cold night of the fire, or simply lover yourself and others. This is a conversion of an afternoon cup of tea to a friendly event. Some people turn the word into the conscience of the soul
So go ahead. It is free from confectionery, invite your friends to a glass of wine for the fire or lazy in a candle-light bath. Savor the moment and let the warm, fuzzy feel flow
My child's girlfriend visited last year when she asked, "Where do you want to retire?"
I am from California Palm Springs, which has long been one of the most famous retirement communities. Snowbirds love this place for more than 300 days a year. Golfing, casinos, hiking and cycling are popular activities. Shops and dinners are abundant. Moreover, the rather strong economy and the low unemployment rate in Palm Springs area are a popular destination for baby boomers and retirees.
But do I want to retire here? Not really. Some people love the heat, but I'm not a fan of the long, hot summers where the temperature is over 115 degrees. However, it is time to consider my options. Like many booms, retirement does not seem to me for the moment. But of course a girl can dream, right? What are the best and worst states to retire? The results of Bankrate.com last year's survey were interesting. Traditional retirement places, such as Florida and California, did not make the top 10, while other states, which are generally not ranked first in retirement such as Wyoming and Colorado, the top five. Honolulu is the 2nd most expensive home and Hawaiian residents pay an 11% personal tax rate – the second highest in the United States. But if you can afford it, that state is high for happiness and personal well-being. New York and West Virginia rated the worst.
Here you go! Using some of these tips can dramatically affect your life and help you find your happiness in 2018. Go away!
