We all want this; we all want to be happy. What is it that each of us can do to create happiness around us? I don’t believe that single person can do nothing; I don’t think that’s true. We are all interconnected; nobody is really “single” in this world. Nobody is separated from the rest; it may feel that way, but that’s a different story. We all affect each other. Denying it doesn’t change the fact that we are interdependent. So what do we do?
What is it that each of us can do today to make this happen; to make this dream/fantasy come finally true?

I have read most books on this subject and many others.I only found one that really answered most things for me and made a difference. It was called Sati the story of a man depressed in his life, who meets this enlightened young lady called Sati. ( you look like her actually and your way of being also!)
She changes everything for him and others in her talks about herself being God and everyone else being the same. She is you, you are she. In this she explains that the most important thing in creating a better world is our presence. I cannot really summarize it. A happy presence is infectious.

I believe that we are all experiencing the same reality subjectively. And that's really the problem. If we all saw life the same way, there might be harmony, but things would be very dull.
I don't think we can have much effect on other people's perspective, and I don't think it is right to force people into anything. So what can we do?
We can refine our own consciousness - shape our own perspective until our picture of the world is the best picture there is (despite the daily atrocities). Then we will be happy, and we will have (from our own perspective) changed the whole world.

Smile at people. It's catching. Stop yourself before you get angry about a little thing and say something positive instead. Accept each other for who and what we are and stop trying to impose our own beliefs on those who have perfectly good ones of their own. And rather than expect all our rewards in the next life, try and make a few nice things for ourselves and others in this one :)

That's rather simple actually... but not very easy.
There are two things we can do~ Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself.
And by love, I don't mean a warm and fuzzy feeling of affection. I mean giving of yourself genuinly to someone or something else. By this definition, we spend too much time loving ourselves, loving things, loving what makes us feel good, loving what gives us gain. Instead, we should be loving others, and loving God, the Author of life and of love, and in doing so, improving things generally for everyone else AND ourselves.
Love covers over a multitude of sins, and sin is the source of all suffering in this world. Sin is selfishness, and love is unselfishness. This isn't a "pie in the sky" feel good answer, but a very practical one, that if put into practice in its totality WILL yeild results.

we all must give our lives to Jesus Christand exdcept him as our personal lord and savior if we do so then our souls will go and be with Jesus there will be a new earth . we will have ever lasting life full of peace and joy no more tears. we can't be that now because we live in a flesh body is cursed with sin. if there was no sin then we all would be perfect and happy.

what can we do to create heaven you ask? I ask you what is it you want most in this world? What is everyone searching for? It's the one thing that lack of destroys us. It's at the core of all humans. The one thing we're instructed to do from Jesus.

To help create heaven on earth, we should stop treating our beliefs as absolute truth.
