Signs of a Happy Person
Happy people live with purpose. They find joy in
lasting relationships, working toward their goals,
and living according to their values. The happy
person is not enamored with material goods or
[5] luxury vacations. This person is fine with the simple
pleasures of life—petting a dog, sitting under a tree,
enjoying a cup of tea. Here are a few of the outward
signs that someone is content.
• Is open to learning new things
[10] • Is high in humility and patience
• Smiles and laughs readily
• Goes with the flow
• Practices compassion
• Is often grateful
[15] • Exercises self-care
• Enjoys healthy relationships
• Is happy for other people
• Gives and receives without torment
• Lives with meaning and purpose
[20] • Does not feel entitled and has fewer expectations
• Is not spiteful or insulting
• Does not hold grudges
• Does not register small annoyances
• Does not angst over yesterday and tomorrow
[25] • Does not play games
• Is not a martyr or victim
• Is not stingy with their happiness
