How To Be Happy, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
The stars know what you need.
weheartit What do you need to be happy?
We know that our basic needs are food, water, air, shelter, and sleep. Once we have those primary needs covered, there are some physiological needs such as safety, health care, jobs, home, feeling of belonging, love, affection, self-esteem, personal worth, social recognition, and accomplishment that add to the quality of our lives. In addition, some people desire more spiritual things such as awareness, insight, and personal growth to truly live their best lives.
But do all those things guarantee happiness? It’s up to each person to decide what they need to make them happy.

For some people, having a ton of money gives them a huge amount of happiness, while for others money doesn’t buy them happiness. Money problems, however, can cause a great amount of stress, so not having them seems better than having to constantly worry about paying the mortgage or where your next meal is coming from.
Having good health is also something that, when you don’t have it, would color your attitude. I’m not saying it’s impossible to be happy if you have a chronic illness, but it does make it more of a challenge.
Many people find that their greatest happiness comes from their family and that having people to care for and love brings them a tremendous amount of joy. Conversely, there are those who enjoy the freedom that comes from living a more solo life.
Experiences can also lead to real happiness — traveling, trying new things, and getting out of your comfort zone. It’s important to know what it is that you need to make yourself happy so that you can access it whenever you need it.
