Happiness is a very subjective term. It varies in different people. So for that matter I want to know what makes you happy. What are the things/situations that you feel the happiness? :) I'm just a person who live in a simple life. I easily get happy with simple things in life. I love talking and sharing stories to other people. It makes me happy when there's someone who's also happy because of me. :)

I guess, it all depends on our selves. If we want to be happy regardless of any problems that were encountering in our lives. I've realized this before, because I really thought before that nothing can make me happy, yes, nothing! Though I have all the material things I want, I have my family with me, all my loved ones are healthy, still I can feel emptiness in my heart. It is when I got to read an article saying that happiness should come from within. If you want to make yourself happy, you must think it's happening to you. It's the power of attraction. You attract something you want to happen. Anyway, just to wake up another day with my family and loving friends and breathing once more, is enough to make happy each day of my life.

what makes me happy is having a positive day and seeing people around me being happy and food, food makes me happy as well., I can't have negative people around me, it'll make my day all negative then i'll start being negative.

I am usually happy. Small things make me happy - like when everything neatly works out and falls into place - I find this very satisfying. Or when someone surprises me with something - that's very pleasant.

hi kyel! just like you i easily get happy too, even a bite of toblerone will do...haha. Seriously, knowing and seeing my childrens in good health and happy too makes me happy and contented.When my husband appreciated the foods i've cooked and they all want for more servings, then all the feeling of tiredness are gone.Hearing others telling me that i do look younger than my real age, makes me smile.Even a beautiful sunny day makes me happy, looking at the blue sky and of course me and my kids are really happy everytime we saw the rainbow.What more?...as of now i can't think of all the things that makes me happy, but one thing for sure,each day of my life there will always be something to make me happy, as long as i know how to appreciate the beauty of life. have a nice day!

What makes me happy would be seeing other people that I care about happy. That's what really matters to me in this world. I t really saddens me though when I see people sad because they should be smiling and laughing and having a great time that's how I see it.

Whenever I play games online I am happy. I remember when I was playing SF my enemy provoked me like what the matador does to the bull. Im so into my chase that I failed to logically think which led to me being knifed at the head. lols. I am also glad playing chess against players from the internet. Moreover I also watch as an spectator. If Kasparov playing against deep blue made a worldwide sensation a dozen years ago, even if the game was bloody it still makes me happy for the moves were well thought. It makes me even happier when my chess opponent is a girl which occurred many times. Theres also some fun reading about quotations at one website. Another way of having happiness is by watching videos at youtube and last but not the least, simply being here at mylot.

there are two things in this world... one is my hubby... he always knows when i need some kind of attention or affection... and he can give it that extra something special that i need every once in a while... and he always knows when is the right time to tell me that he loves me... my hubby is 1/2 of my whole life... the other thing in life that makes me happy is my daughter... everyday when i wake up i know the first thing that i am going to see is her smiling face... and i always know that she will be happy to see me... every time i take her to the babysitters house and go back to pick her up there is that beautiful smile... and thats when i remember what i was put on this earth for... to be a good wife and a loving and caring mother... there isnt anything in the world that i would take for my daughter or my hubby... i love them so much and they are the only things that make this life worth living... and i think that by the time my time on this earth is over i can say that i was very blessed to have two such wonderful people in my life...

hi kyel_11! A lot of things can make me happy. My nieces made me so happy, they are my sunshine every light of day. My work makes me happy. My family and friends cheer me up everyday. Listening to a perfect song makes me smile. Playing "Melanie Fiona's" music makes me happy.

Right at this very moment what makes me happy is seeing myself successful in my career. I'm very ambitious. I really hope I can realize all my dreams. Thre are a lot of things that I want to buy and places I want to go. I'm pretty much materialistic at this stage of my life since I'm still in my 20s. Sooner or later, I'll be longing for love and stuffs like that. hehe

Oh well..many things,simple things too. My main happiness is seeing my kids well adjusted, serene, stable, enjoying their childhood. That's for me the ultimate. Seeing those around me that I'm frequent in contact with: in peace, content, worry-free as much as possible(not a perfect world I know) As for me in particular: feeling peace inside, enjoying in harmony the company of the people I love and feel good with. Spending time alone too makes me happy sometimes. Helps me focus on things.I feel better afterwards. Making people laugh, smile oh! having a nice breakfast hehe like pancakes and eggs and coffee and then when finish relax doing nothing just maybe watching tv, being online or taking another nap afterwards love it! hehehe.

my perception of happiness is rather different from yours. i define happiness as being contented with ones self and then sharing this inward feeling with others because if an individual is not truly happy with their self then they are not really happy. therefore their inward emotions will reflect on the outside and others can simply depict that they are just putting on a false face but you have some individuals who are really good pretenders. what are your views on such pretending acts?
