HOW TO BUY HAPPINESS

By Matata Mercy 

Recently a friend of mine asked me what he could do to be happy. 

He told me that he tried to buy things just to make him feel good.

 He bought new clothes almost every week, new shoes and gadgets like phones, laptops, watches, which were always the latest on the market frequently. 

But after all this bulk purchasing, he felt some emotions of happiness for a short period of time and  then he was back to the old dissatisfaction. 

After this thought provoking question, i went out on a search for the way to happiness. 

Today, i would like to share with you some of the things i learnt about chasing happiness.

1. Buy experiences not stuff.

Yes, instead of buying a brand new car or the latest iphone on the market, spend your money on experiences that will remain with you forever. 

Go for a massage, an experience that you might love. I truly enjoy massages. 

Or you could just join your friends and family and crack jokes together. And have a memorable experience.

2. Help others in need.

One way of buying happiness is to help others. 

The truth is that helping others will make us feel better.For example you could buy foodstuffs and take to an orphanage. 

You will feel happier when you bring a smile to someone's face.

3.Buy time.

Yes, use your money to buy time by delegating activities that you cannot do because you are busy.

 You will free enough time to do the things that you love.

 I hope these tips help you to live happily. Good  luck.😁
