i can say that right at this moment i am happy. i have a very good husband and i will be a mom soon. i may not always get what i want but God provide just what i needed. just enough to be satisfied and contented. i think when you are contented and satisfied with your life you will find your happiness. but sure we will never be contented. so just find your happiness within your self. its just within you.

yes i believe happiness is within us. sometimes we look too far to look for it not knowing its only within us. or within a short distance from us. and you know what the more you are searching the more it will be difficult to find. so never look far and searched too much. maybe it is you the reason why you are not happy. so find it why... good luck

I have to say yes. I am really happy now. I have healthy kids. We have a comfy home. We are all healthy. My hubby and I have a good relationship. As of now our needs are simple.

I have two great kids and my own business. I am self sufficient. I will never be rich, but money is not important to me as long as my kids are fed and my bills are paid. I have never been miserable, but I always felt like something was missing.
Five months ago I found my missing piece. I know I have found true happiness. I know this is a life long friend and partner, and everything feels right in my world now. Every day continues to be better than the last (though I can't comprehend this).
It sounds cheesy and sappy but I can't imagine my world without him. I never knew it was possible to feel this close and connected to someone that is not your child.
I am 41 years old and I feel like I am getting a fresh new start on life.

I am not sure whether I am happy or sad now, but I could tell myself I will feel happy at a later time owing to I am willing to try my best to realize most of my dreams.
Good luck to you. Hope you will become better and better in the future.

You are not alone. In my case, I am so thankful to God too for everything He has given to me. I feel so glad about the things I have already achieved and obtained because of God's help. But like you, I am not totally happy too. I still have many more things to do and to have to become happier than now. I guess it's very normal for us human beings to be discontented easily with what we already have. We are looking for something we still don't have.

People don't always get what they want. Happiness depends on how you would describe it. Some people can be happy just by taking care of others, eating meal once a day, loved by their spouse, donated some money for charity. For some others happiness may mean getting a lot of money, eating delicious food, having jewelries, etc. So I think the level of happiness is different one another. While for me, I think I'm happy enough with my life: having a great (THE GREAT) husband, side jobs besides a housewife, loving parents and parents-in-law, surrounded by loyal friends. So if I had to define the word happiness for me is: To love and loved by others, that's it. I won't be happy if I'm not loved or I can't love people.
As for you, I think I had once in your situation, but then God always, and always give me overflowing joy. There are ups and downs, but I'm sure, what it is, it is the best for us. It's all about gratitude about what He has given us, whether it's a sad thing or a happy thing. You will understand this, in time, I'm sure. So for now, just think that you're blessed. That's it.

I really relate to you !
everyday I wake up and thank
god for another day
But it still seems like that something is
missing
I just want to be generally happy with
the way my life is going
I guess its up too each indivisual too find what their
own true happiines is and how they are going to get there

I am happy right now. I try to find happiness in everything that happens to me, be it good or bad. I can't say that I am really happy now because there's something in me that still wants more. I guess I'm just being human that I still want more.

I understand what you mean. I got everything i need and more, maybe that the problem :) Why are people in richer countries always more depressed than people in "poor" countries.
