I am a very ordinary person looking for happy. Some time i think simple is happy however other people like your wife and family will think differently and at the end cause me not happy as well. Really hope someone can comment on how to become happy ???

You can be happy if you look on positive side of your life. Observe everything around you. There are so many reasons to be thankful for and be happy for.Are you eating three times a week? Then be happy, because there are so many people who cannot eat even once a day.Do you have complete body parts? Then be happy because you are lucky. There are so many people who are blind, deaf,mute, who wishes they are normal just like you. If you feel boring, you can look to find ways not to be bored. Go with your friends.Meet new people.Visit different places.Learn how to play guitar ,piano or know how to speak different languages.Plant a tree. Join an organization in your community.Smile. Kiss and hug your parents. You can be happy if you know how to appreciate little things.Be thankful in everything that comes in your life.

This is pretty much what I was getting ready to write myself. I have food, shelter, clothing, and water! I have Internet at home! I can see and hear! Other people are not so fortunate, so just think on that! And try to help those people out whenever you can! What a sense of accomplishment! :)

I found a way to stay simple and still be happy. This is just my opinion based on experience but it worked for me. Contentment with what I have and not wanting what I know I can not.Live by your means and learn to accept people for what they are. Basically, things may not work the way we want them to but the fact you tried is good enough to feel good about yourself.

"Don't expect anything" and be positive. If you do so you will be the Happy forever. First of all we can't be happy always.

I believe happiness is simply a state of mind.If you think you are happy,you are.In critical situations,just remember,you are the one you have to care for at the first place.Nobody is going to make you happy than your self content.See for your existence under any traggic situation and remain happy, for you are still there facing anything.Remember you are the right person to be happier than anybody else.

just think of all the good times you had in your life. Think of your little child's smiling face. Happiness will come automatically.

Look within yourself to find happiness. Encourage your wife and family to do the same. Tolstoy said it well.... "If you want to be happy, be." ~ Leo Tolstoy
