What and how is your definition of your own pursuit of happiness?I believe that happiness is hard to get and it is being pursue by everyone.

at this point in time, this very moment of my life, i'm suffering from lots of pain from knees injury. i pursuit of happiness would therefore be a life without knee-pain. i believe that i am happy now and i know i would be a lot happier if my prayer is answered. however, i continue to live life with optimism and hope for a better tomorrow.

Happiness means something different to each individual. Everyone should have the right to pursue their own happiness. Different things make different people happy. In general what leads to happiness is health, money, and love. One needs all three of them in order to be happy in life. They often intertwine but they are indeed all separate entities. One can often not be healthy without money. Without health often times one cannot be loved or love someone else. With a capitalistic society, everyone is pursuing their own happiness and trying to live life to the fullest.

Everyone has a different definition for happiness. And what it takes to make them happy. For some it is easier to obtain than for others. I think to be happy a person should be true to themselves.

Hi razim, I remember will smith's movie "Pursuit to Happyness" It's really touching and a great movie. Well, it is really hard to achieve the real happiness in life especially nowadays. Everyone wants to live a happy life but the way of living today is hard. We smile yes, but behind those smiles are problems and sometimes sadness. Only us can make and pursue the happiness that we want in life.

hie razim, happiness is a situation where you feel on top of the world, like no worries and everything in place.if there is worry, can learn to overcome it like a challenge. happiness comes from outside. its a sort like outside stimuli. for example like going for a vacation , we feel happy and looking forward after months of preparation and saving up. or happy going to watch a movie with friends. happiness can be long lasting or shortlived. so to have happiness and retained it, try to be the happy person in the first place. joy on the oither hand comes from inside, from within us. tgus we need happiness and joy in life.
