Stop focusing – even subconsciously – on yourself! How the hell do you do that? Focus on others. See if you can help someone else. Give someone – anyone an unsolicited compliment. Hold open a door. Smile at someone genuinely until they have to smile back at you.
Here is a quote from the Dalai Lama –
“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”
