Detailed explanation-1: -On 4 July 1776, the following words were immortalised in the US Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Detailed explanation-2: -"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” is a well-known phrase from the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase gives three examples of the unalienable rights which the Declaration says have been given to all humans by their Creator, and which governments are created to protect.
Detailed explanation-3: -Intentionally find reasons to be thankful. For example, recognizing the blessing of friends and family, health, or a beautiful sunset. Just three intentional expressions of gratitude a day can improve your mood.
Detailed explanation-4: -Remember that the pursuit of happiness, in the Declaration, is not a quest or a pastime, but “an unalienable right.” Everyone has the right to actuallybe happy, not just try to be happy. To use a metaphor: You don’t just get the chance to make the baseball team, you are guaranteed a spot.
