Year 2009 is here and it’s time to start the year with a positive way of looking at the problems. I think happiness should be one of the goals for 2009 therefore today I bring here 30 advices for a happier life.

Although I think I am a realistic person, most people say I am too pessimist therefore I usually give a lot of importance and feel real bad when I can’t achieve my goals. I really need to get a positive and healthier vision of my life because happiness depends on that.

I hope these tips are useful for you as they will be for me.
