You are happy when you are surrounded by the people who make you happy.Happiness is a state of mind .Though money is imporatant but upto a limit.One has to be satisfied in life with whatever he or she hs to be able to live happy.I am happy now as i am with those whom i love & they too love me.

Oh I don't think I can measure happiness because I think it's a really heart-felt feeling from inside. Like when a friend say something nice, I would feel happy. When my boyfriend say some sweet stuff, I would feel happy. I think my happiness reacts to my surroundings. And I think if a person can appreciate some small things in life, he/ she would be more happy. I know many people are not really happy even if they have all the things you mentioned in life, I guess it's really their mentalities of not knowing how to be satisfied. I think being satisfied of where you are and what you are doing will bring happiness too!

yes,happiness is not what you want to get,but what you have;happiness is not result,but process.

For the most part, I am happy. or content. I want a few things in life and as is, I would love my own place. but that doesn't signify if I'm happy or not. so I will say if I am secure knowing that the Lord is on the throne, that I can work when I want to and have good health, as well as feel that I am doing my best for society, then I am happy.

always wanted my own family -now am a mom of two, staying home, married since six years and am very happy with my life. i think happiness is only possible when you commit your whole life to our living God -then He will give you the inner contentment which will then lead to real happiness. Then everyday and everybody and every little thing around you will simply make you happy -its as if you have everything you need in life. naturally, there are also situations which may bring you down but even then you will always be able to look at the bright side of it - i think that is happiness...

As a matter of fact,happiness is simply.When you get something you desired for a long time ,you'll feel happy.Living with your lover,it is happy,and so on.In a word,happiness in our hand.It needs us to fight for it ourselves and it is a balance in many ways,Take some time to go out for a trip,and I think it is wonderful to you.
So,my sister,enjoy what you have,and hope the happiness around you all the time.
