What makes you happy?

Happiness is inside of us. Ask yourself a question what makes you happy and your donor is in front of the mirror.

If you feel good even your favorite song will make you happy. The opposite, if you drown in your personal flood, full of negative thoughts, new Mercedes will not bring you happiness.

It is wrong thinking that everything will be solved if you find love. Bunch of people is in relations, but still, they are not complete happily. A partner can be a big source of happiness, but if you ask something different than he gives to you, all is in vain.

Happiness is a system. Try to remember what made you happy all these years, what was the reason that you felt happy yesterday and what makes you smile before one hour.

You can be happy even if others are miserable because this is in human nature. Think about how this thing can make you happy.

Your terrible boss is sick?

Your ex-girlfriend got 20 kilograms on weight and she is not attractive anymore?

Your business rival collapsed in financial debts.

What made us miserable is an obstacle to our present happiness. Remove these obstacles and you will get blank space. Ok, now you don't hate anyone because they got what they deserve, so justice is done, but how to fill this empty space?

Try to find a new job.

Date with new girls.

Build your own business success.

The wrong recipe for happiness is to copy others. Something that worked out on others is not suitable for you. This is as you try to wear clothes from your best friend. She looks stunning, but you look average or it simply doesn't fit you.

Your happiness is still unwrapped. You have potential, hidden somewhere, but you don't know how to reveal this.

See your first steps:

Remove all things that make you grumpy, angry or sad.

Associate with positive people, they can inspire you.

Don't copy, learn and develop your potentials.

Forget past mistakes and bitterness.

If you swallow frustrations every day, you can't breathe.

Break some rules.
It means, doesn't go against the law, but you have no duties to do what others are talking to you. Advice about morality or habits of society is not your obligation.

Act accord your principles and your wishes.

Say no to those who make limits or obstacles to you.

Deal with patience.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling. In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules. T...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

"I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

Why is refund damaging indie authors?

I understand someone can be disappointed with a book. It is like I was disapointed with my trousers online and returned it. What makes a difference, my trousers were 40 euros. The book was 2.49 cents. This makes return funny, because what can you do with this money? Some readers don't understand story behind the refund. The author will get minus royalties. - 0.13 c in my Kindle report, that will vanish when someone else buy the book. The situation happens. Someone accidentaly clicked and bought a book. A random customer wants a refund. Maybe it was not a random move. Maybe the customer clicked, bought and did not like the book. When you don't like the book choose another options, instead of damaging authors. Write a negative review. Write negative one star rating. Don't purchase another books from this author. Or, maybe to reconsider and read it, again? If you write negative reviews or rate it with 1 or 2 stars, you are making a favor to authors. You are moving algorithms i...
