Schools try to teach us things that will prepare us for life but do they fail to teach us the most important thing? Do they fail to teach us how to be happy and is it something that can be learnt?

Perhaps it is a good thing that we don’t learn this at school and we have to discover it ourselves. Perhaps if it was taught at school it would go over our heads like many of the things that we learnt at school.

Even though you can teach someone how to be happy at the end of the day it is up to the individual. There is no real test for happiness, only you truly know whether you are happy or not.

We may not be taught about it at school and it may not be seen as an essential life skill, but it is something that we should all devote some time to discovering and practising in order to live a fulfilling life.
