Happiness and Life Satisfaction
What is the purpose of life? Is that to be happy? Why people go through all the pain and hardship? Is it to achieve happiness in some way?
I’m not the only person who believed the purpose of life is happiness. If you look around you, most people are pursuing happiness in their lives.
On March 20th, the world celebrates the International Day of Happiness. The 2020 report ranked 156 countries by how happy their citizens perceive themselves based on their evaluations of their own lives. The rankings of national happiness are based on a Cantril ladder survey. Nationally representative samples of respondents are asked to think of a ladder, the best possible life for them being a 10, and the worst possible experience is a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale. The report correlates the results with various life factors. In the reports, experts in economics, psychology, survey analysis, and national statistics describe how well-being measurements can be used effectively to assess nations’ progress and other topics.
So, how happy are people today? Were people more comfortable in the past? How satisfied with their lives are people in different societies? How do our living conditions affect all of this?
Features Analyzed
- GDP: GDP per capita is a measure of a country’s economic output that accounts for its number of people.
- Support: Social support means having friends and other people, including family, turning to in times of need or crisis to give you a broader focus and positive self-image. Social support enhances the quality of life and provides a buffer against adverse life events.
- Health: Healthy Life Expectancy is the average number of years that a newborn can expect to live in “full health” — in other words, not hampered by disabling illnesses or injuries.
- **Freedom: **Freedom of choice describes an individual’s opportunity and autonomy to perform an action selected from at least two available options, unconstrained by external parties.
- Generosity: is defined as the residual of regressing the national average of responses to the question, “Have you donated money to a charity in past months?” on GDP capita.
- Corruption: The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is an index published annually by Transparency International since 1995, which ranks countries “by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys.”

What Are the Main Keys to a Successful Life?
Description: For many people, the ultimate goal in life is to be happy and prosperous. A successful life will mean living each day, having achieved all the desires of your heart. Every person has an idea of what this means to her, but ultimately life is meant to be stress-free and full.
How to be successful in life is a goal that all humanity shares despite differences in individual desires. For example, a rocket mogul can desire to create a settlement on the moon, while a monk wants more people leading a simpler living. When each achieves their goals, then they lead a successful life.
However, achieving a successful living is an uphill task, and most people give up on the way to the top. Why? It’s because the journey is loaded with challenges that can make you quickly lose track. Focus is one of the essential parts of a successful life.
Without remaining on track, it won’t be possible to achieve that dream or lead an existence you want. With many failures along the way, there are several keys you can use to lead a successful existence.
7 Keys to a Successful Life
1. Always be grateful
Not everything you want will happen as you envisioned, but it’s essential to be grateful through it. Most times, we get caught up in failures and stress that we don’t realize we need to be thankful for such situations. Specific steps to become successful in life exist, and being grateful is at the top of the list.
When you learn to be grateful no matter what, then success and happiness follow you closely. As you seek ways to make it in life, watch how you respond to everyday living, and make gratitude a driving force.
2. Be goal-oriented
To live a happy and successful life, you need goals that drive you. What do you want to accomplish? What are your short and long term goals in all areas of your life? By focusing on these goals, you can remain on track no matter what challenges lay ahead.
Waking up in the morning and just going about the day without any goals leads to a wasted life. There has to be something that pushes you ahead, no matter what. By keeping your goals close, you get closer to living a successful life each day.
3. Be a risk-taker
Life is not meant to be safe each day that passes by. When you opt not to take any risks, then you won’t accomplish much. Being goal-oriented goes hand in hand with taking risks to attain your set goals and dreams.
You are playing it safe, and it always groups you with everyone else who yearns for a better existence but does little to achieve it. Living a successful life demands, you learn how to take risks and cope with the results you get. Not every risk leads to rewards; some come with essential lessons to learn.
4. Divide your goals
Having one big goal can seem impossible, so it’s crucial to break it down into achievable daily tasks. For example, if you want to earn a degree, start by registering for the course and attending the first class.
Dividing your goals into daily tasks makes living a successful life achievable for anyone. Each job that you accomplish gets you closer and closer.
5. Master patience
Indeed, Rome wasn’t built in a day. For many, patience is elusive when you want to lead a successful existence right now.
You must learn to be patient and wait for life to unfold, getting you to your destination. Patience is a virtue emphasized in all successful life books, and you must master it to succeed. By rushing the process, you won’t achieve a complete dream.
6. Take care of your body and mind
Physical and mental health is as much part of a successful life as any other action you take. If you don’t take good care of yourself, you won’t lead the life you desire. Your health is a crucial part of the puzzle, as witnessed in many successful life examples.
7. Take different courses
What are your goals in life that will lead to a successful life? Check out different courses you can take to help you achieve this ambition. For example, studying the successful life of an entrepreneur reveals all the required lessons needed to achieve success.
Conclusion: You can lead a successful life by following these 7 keys. The journey is full of challenges and failure, but by not giving up, you’ll make it.
