However, did you know that there is actually one of the most influential on us, related to the difficulty to be happy? It is pessimism, the number one killer of happiness, which makes people unconsciously have turned off the sense of happiness in his life.

Meanwhile, the famous philosopher Aristotle mentions that happiness in a person would have happened if he had achieved a major goal of his life.
Furthermore, from the information about what and how happiness above, it can be a common thread, that happiness is closely linked to the achievement of a goal, which we know to achieve a goal, it takes effort. Well, from here there are two main points related to things that allow a person to happiness, that is the goal and effort. Then, try to think about this statement: "How could the goal be achieved, if a person feels pessimistic in their efforts."
Defined as the act no hope, as a worry of inadequacy, fear of losing, or in other words diluting expectations, then fulfilled that, pessimism can be one of the main causes difficulty for someone to achieve happiness. Therefore, in an attempt to achieve happiness, things required being done everyone is trying to optimistic to achieve goals in life. And should be noted, though in an effort to achieve the goal, we have failed, never 'kill' the ideals of happiness in life with a sense of pessimism, to want to get up and try again.
