What makes people happy? What are some of the things that you think make you happy? Where does happiness come from?
A few questions that comes in my mind but these things very usual to us and yet we dont know if where and how does happiness came in.
Many people believe that money can buy happiness, but according to happiness researchers, people who are wealthy are not happier than people with average incomes. About what percent of Filipinos and Americans consider themselves happy?
Some personality traits like extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness can be obviously be related to people who are more likely to be happy. Does it mean that you are doomed to be unhappy if you do not possess these traits?
For what I know, Im happy that I have friends around me. They completed my life. MY family who always there to support me. Have you think of a word describe happiness? For me, being loved. Love your friends, relatives, parents and especially God. Smile. People around us might help you. Be positive.

The last you say, be positive, is I feel the key to happiness. By that you can convert any of the situations in your favor and derive pleasure out of it. Secondly I feel those who are less ambitious and know how to be satisfied remain happier as compared to ambitious people.

Happiness to me could mean all sorts of things. Sometimes it doesn't take much to make me happy - lol. A simple smile on my sons face makes me happy. It's actually one of the best feelings in the world to me. But beyond that, being happy in general to me is all the people that make up my life. I've been very aware of the people around me lately, and if they weren't in my life, well, I wouldn't have much of a life at all. My husband and children make me happy. I love coming home to them after a long day at work. I have great friends that I can confide in. Good friends are hard to come by, so the few that I have in my life that are true to me, that overwhelms me with happiness. Anytime I can be there for someone, make someone laugh, or give someone a shoulder to cry on, that fills my heart with happiness. I don't believe that money can buy happiness. Money can only buy material things, not friends and family, which I believe to be the real source of being happy. People should only have enough money to live comfortably, the rest is just unneeded.
