Happiness is NEXT to you.

The word 'happiness' is indeed unhappy itself. Since you can't be happy for a moment in whole life if you see the three - present past and future at a time. Today the reason for which you are happy may be the reason you get unhappy the next moment due to consequences. So what you have said is quite true we should search happiness within us. But I want to add we should not ever search happiness since it will definitely going to make you unhappy when the search is over to the next moment and you repent the moment of happiness. So the best think we should be sporting that what and how we are and we are leading is always happy, i.e. if you are happy from your mind irrespective of time or circumstances you will be the happiest person for the moment and the forthcoming moments too.

I keep myself pretty amused at times, but the one thing that truly makes me smile is my boyfriend.

yes thats true ...!! happiness is just next to you. I don't know about other people but I can say a lot abou myslef. Sometimes I get dipressed like without any reason..!! I can not understand the meaning why I am dipressed like that. I usually find me in hell lot dipression and anger and that too without any reason. thats strange but thats me. But sometimes I find myself hell very cheerfull and again without any reason. Once my teacher herself told me after seeing my dipressed like that ...she said one always have to "search" for happiness, as happiness never come by itself..!! Its the valuble advice I can every get. I know this happiness thing is all in your mind if you feel happy no one can make you sad. I always get well dressed to feel confident and HAPPY..!! :)

...The pursuit of happiness is far overrated. Happiness is a state of mind. People look for things to make them happy when all they need do is look within themselves. Where we can enjoy doing things or having things, the reason for our happiness still comes from within. ...If someone has depression, a kitten or puppy will not make them feel happy. The reason for the depression has to be addressed. The kitten or puppy can be good therapy, but not a long term cure. ...Happiness is WITHIN you. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

Thanks for sharing this with us =D I agree with you that we often take for granted things/people who are around us. I often find life very challenging. Everyday, we are challenged to make decisions. Sometimes what seems like a correct decision may turn out wrong and vice versa. I am learning to find happiness around me and also treasure things/people around me. I am also learning to make decisions and choices wisely. I am intelligent intellectually but I think I lack wisdom in making life choices and decisions.

Hello pbarjatiya. I believe in everything that you said. For me, happiness is a decision that we make. Things like the sunshine, the fresh air or other simple things can make us happy if we let ourselves to be happy about it. However, many times we don't make ourselves available to appreciate such things. We take them for granted. If we don't feel happy in the last few days, we can decide right now that tomorrow will be a happy day. And it will be, because you will have to notice each thing/person and make yourself happy about it. I wish you a happy day today and always :)
