Well, it is a difficult one to think about, because a lot of people that I know say that it lays in the arms of destiny, the happiness in your life. But I personally believe that we make our own choices through life, and that we are in control of our own happiness, as we know as individuals, what makes us happy.

I think happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Remember one thing that happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching. Hapiness is important although some describe it as temporary because they feel it is greatly affected by your circumstance. They recommend that people should look for the more permanent experience called Joy. Joy they say is feeling upbeat regardless of your situation. Whether Joy or happiness, both are experiences worth dying for.

Destiny has certainly role in our life, depending upon our past karma, but sometimes we invite happiness or sadness by choice too...
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome always.

Do you think so, Ok. But, in real life, there are some factors which influence on the way people can achieve happiness such as personal achievements, personal relationships, their cultures, families and work. For example, in western countries, happiness often seems as a reflection of personal achievement, and they seem unhappy when they cannot achieve the most in their own lives. However, in Asia, people acquire happiness when they do not feel inferior or guilty. Nevertheless, if someone cannot have those conditions, it does not mean that they are unhappy, unsatisfied.

we all have a predestined future. It even says so in most bibles that you see out there today. Most believe that God brings out this future and that he decide who we are born to and the defines who makes us happy. You know there is a reaosn behind everything. I also believe that it's improtant to understand that God just put the preset there and that it's up to us to follow it the way he had it laid out. If we stray from it then he changes with it as well. It's predestined but it's not exact science. Changes make us happy or unhappy. What makes you happy isn't going to make someone else happy. The ways of the world or the ways of God? can that define a start of happiness. If you know you need to be following the ways of God, then can you be truly happy if you are in the ways of the world? or if yo udo not know or understand that there is a God, where is your happiness. If you haven't heard that there is a god is your happiness any different? It is certainly something to think about.
