Essentially, happiness can be divided into 3 categories:
1.) Physical happiness;
2.) Mental happiness;
3.) Spiritual happiness.
In order for us to fill our lives with these three types of happiness, we first must learn the steps to achieve them. The following is a brief summary of these steps.
1. For Physical Happiness:

2. For Mental Happiness:
