Three very crucial skills to ignore the noise and negative energy around.
first, keep your mouth shut.
second, love what you do.
third, guard your happiness with same vigour and force with which you guard your self-identity and material being.
To stay happy, stop worrying about future. Stop worrying about deadlines, stop worrying about reaching office on time. stop worrying about stop worrying. stop worrying about status. stop worrying about security. feel free, live free, dream free.
Robert Frost once said 'freedom lies in being bold'. so be bold. be bold about everything. Fear is the greatest disease. Be it fear of somebody's approval or someone's disapproval.
Identify your love. how can we? See what are the activities I like to do repeatedly. what are the things for which I can skip my lunch voluntarily. what are the things about which I love to talk, walk, eat, sleep.
Do not let other people digress into your happy territory.
