I have heard once you find happiness within, then you will find happiness with others. Or something on those lines. I have been unhappy for along time, both in relationships and alone. What do you guys do to find happiness from within? What triggers it? What do you do in your everyday life that brings happiness to you?
HELP IS NEEDED.

Very nice. I feel very sorry for all those who have tough moments of life. Unfortunately it is true in respect of a lot of people.
I would suggest that all those who have been unlucky and unfortunate in their lives, to look beyond themselves. They are not alone. There are lot of people like them. They are suffering silently.
One can deal with one's misfortunes in various ways. One is to find the causes of all of troubles. Try to think how one can overcome the same. Find out different ways of dealing with your problems. It may not be possible to end one's troubles immediately, but my experience is that eventually you will find a way out.
Everyone is not a bad guy in this world. There are a lot of good people. One should nourish and welcome good friendship. Good friends will be handy in the times of troubles. One should discuss with them, and seek their help.
My best advice is to think very lightly about once misfortunes. Think this way. What else can one do? Whatever has happened has happened. One cannot reverse the clock. Take it as another experience,.
Life is too short. Don't make it miserable. Take things lightly. What is the use of being so serious. Think this world like a stage where everyone is like an actor. Everyone has to do a role and then disappear. Consider it like acting.
Enjoy. Don't make your life more miserable. Believe me it is a beautiful world.
Read books. Read "Secret", if one can find a copy. Very close to this book is another book by Napoleon Hill called "Think and Grow Rich". This is a very good book dealing many things like psychology and happiness.
If any one has not read "Think and Grow Rich", I would recommend it. You can download a free copy of this book from my blog or website (Look for Free Stuff).

None in this world is happy as God did not give man to live in full happiness, even if you ask Mr. Bill Gates that is he happy? he will hesitate to answer as somewhere he has no happiness. Though major portion of life if feeling happy can consider as Happiness. I feel happiness if I can bring a laugh or smile to a poor widow woman or a disable child. I also feel happy when I can sleep with fuul soundness and have while no disease.

Happiness, as you said is within ourselves. Few people think that being free from restrictions is happiness and few think that problem free life is happiness. I would like to tell, we should first see whether the way in which we are searching happiness is right! I have seen many people who be happy when they do something that is wrong and complain when restricted.
So first we should see whether the way to search happiness is right. If there is any problem in any relationship, then we should analyze and see on whom the fault is. We should be ready to accept our fault rather than maintaining our prestige issues. So only if we sort out the problems we can get TRUE happiness, but by quitting from the problem will only lead to temporary happiness!

Hello,touchshine,i have been single for long time but i am still happy. I think it depends on how you think about being single,as i do not have a partner,I can have total freedom ,i can do whatever i want without any restrictions,i do not need to respond to someone.
Happiness originates from your heart,if you just enjoy every moment you have and not get stuck in the past, you will be happy,you do not need to think of the way on how to make you happy.
For me,I just have a simple life but i am still happy about that,may be it is because you will not have much worry if you live in a simple way.
Hope you will be happy.

Happiness is like a butterfly,the more you chase it.the more it will elude you,but if you turn your attention to other things.It will come and sit softly on your shoulder.Don't worry,take nothing seriously in this world,foster forgiveness,counteract negative thoughts and feelings,remember money can't buy happiness ,foster friendship,engage in meaningful activities.

Happiness is very elusive. We chase after it for a long time but never get it, and then when we give up we get it. Its one thing we all crave for. I would say a satisfied day brings me happiness. A satusfied day for em would be a day where I ahve done my part at work, spent time with my family and bf, and also done something good for others. I always feel the most unconditional happiness is got when we do something good for others.

Happiness is searched by all persons in this wonderful world always. Some people find happiness in the right way and some try to find it in a short-cut(mostly illegal) way. But true happiness is the real hppiness that is the product of one's financial success and mental integrity. Happiness is most enjoyed by the achieved knowledge of the person. The mental integrity factor is only responsible for the inner happiness that we must have to culture with in ourselves by putting us mentally to various constructive work or creative work. In my opinion, if I make happy others, then happiness must follow me without my special care for it! So make happy others and let happiness follow your path. With happiness, many Thanks.

dear touchnshine,i think you must be try to be happy in your current state.Happiness is one thing ,you will never find it if you run after it.It is state of mind which comes by accepting the situation where you are in.Nobody is perfect & nobody has everything in life.There is bound to be something a miss in life.To be happy don't expect a lot from anybody as expectation is the major cause of worry& unhappieness.I try to be happy with whatever i have.Even if everything always don't go according to your wish.I had an arranged marriage with avery good husband But as i always like to visit new places,travelling my husband not.So initially i used to be so unhappy that he doesn't take me ot often but after that i realised that even if he is not outgoing he is such a caring person.How many girls have so loving & caring husbands.i felt so lucky & happy to have him that from that day all my unhappieness just vanished.So be happy & don't worry too much.

Hello touchnshine
Happiness is deep in your heart, if you feel unhappy then you will feel that.
I can feel happy just remember what i already have, my family, my boyfriend.
Even I remember the most painful thing in my life, i will still think that God is very love me and that will make me happy.
You only have one life, enjoy it and try to love your life.
God bless you

You cannot find happiness through objects (living or non living). This illusion that objects can make us happy or sad is popularly known as Maya in India.
Since time immemorial learned guru's have reminded that your true nature is Sat-Chit-Anand (Existence, Conscious, Bliss). This means that our true nature is happiness.
Thoughts created in our mind disturbs this bliss. Depending on our tendencies, these thoughts pester us to move away from bliss. When we get our hand on that new car or any object for that matter, the thoughts subside and we are at peace or bliss. We feel that it is because of the object, but it is because of the reduction of thoughts.
Learn how to observe your thought and you will find that you don't necessarily have to respond to each thought wave. When this observation become natural, you will identify that you are not your body or your mind but something much more superior.
You will be free.
Have a nice day.

There are a lot of aspects of my life that mademe happy. As a student, I am happy getting higher grades in class. It's because I always do my best. I am also happy with my true friends. They make me feel comfortable. I am also happy when I see my family is happy though we are just living a very simple life...
And one thing that can make me more happier is that when I can finish my studies...through all the efforts that I've made. I almost got it. It's just that I need to sacrifice...and I'm happy that all my sacrifices before were all well compensated. It's really nice to look back...when I knew that I have done good. Now, this time, it's time to move forward considering the past as inspiration to strive more...and to be more than I was before!!!

to change my mood i use to read some good books if you want to feel happy do make a habit of always expressing usself as happiest person meet everone with smile and when any one asks how are you just make ahabbit of saying great,wonderful very happy .no doudt everone in this world has its own story own problems but if you learn to welcome the problems with smile a day will definately come when problems will start avoiding you . i am reading thses day a book" The power of subconscious mind" thats what you need to make feel your subconscious that you feel always happy whats may be the situation. ya it may feel difficult in starting but once practice life will definately be wonderful. best of luck. take care
