Hi, biggerb I am happy. I have a good husband, healthy family life, et cetera. I do not have the best of everything but I am working hard to have everything. I will do that because that is who I am. I will not be happy if I just sit and watch life pass me by because I am not the type. However, I recognize that it is also very important to try doubly hard not to lose focus on what I have. I may spend a lot of time at work but I will never forget about the things that make me happy right now. They are the first in my priority list. Have a nice day!

Nobody in this world can be completely happy because nobody is perfect.A rich man is unhappy because he feels that he is not rich enough or is afraid of losing his wealth. A poor man is unhappy because he desires riches. Some people have wealth but not health so they are unhappy and some have good health but not wealth which makes them sad. Only a true saint can be really happy because he is totally indifferent to the world and his source of true happiness is love for God and fellow human beings.He is totally contented with what he has or does not have, has no desires and is completely surrenderd to God.In his eyes all are equal and he sees God in all creation. I have not yet reached that stage in my personal life but am making all efforts to be there. My desires have considerably dwindled as the years have passed and today the cravings that i had during my younger days have all but vanished.I am quite contented with what i have and do not feel possessive about what i have.In a way i am happy as i do not feel any reason to feel sad about my life or the turn that it has taken.

Yes, I feel happy. And I agree with you that being happy doesn't mean you have to have everything you want, it's more of feeling grateful and appreciative of what we have right now. My husband and I try to be thankful for each blessing we receive

Hi, for the most part yes I am happy.I have been with the same guy for years but we have yet to get married. We will eventually just not yet.The reason I am happy, today was a good day all around.I didn't get frustrated.

I am not happy today, but i do want to be happy than sad. Its like i am having drought season, or famine where i dont really have a lot of resources now. I dotn even pay bills on time and its hard for me because i am not like this before. Before i can manage to pay all, save too from my salary. But now, i cant even save a single penny, and it makes me worried now. I know sometimes we like to be happy, but it cant erase in my mind, oh i am happy but yes i am delinquent paying bills?. Its a famine season for me, i try other things for me to earn a little than wait for my monthly salary.

Yes,i think so.In fact,I don't think happiness need to persuit.Somebody told me happiness like the tail of the cat.You will never really grasp it. Happiness can be found in your life in every second every minute i think.It is no use to persuit it,just to open your eyes and discover it.
