Thoughts on Happiness

From what I've experienced from life, happiness is something that happens when you stop worrying and go with the flow of life. It can be an inner ting or it can be looking at all the things you absolutely love. It can be looking at what you have that you've always wanted. Perhaps it consists of a mindset where you are always doing something and therefore always unable to be bored or worrisome, always looking around at the beauty of life, the beauty of relationships, the beauty of material things, the beauty of material things, the beauty of friends, entertainment, knowledge, pride in ones' talents, pets, living each day. I think if you are trying to be what others want you to be, there is no way you can be yourself, which is the basis for your happiness.

Happy is being with someone whom you love,also enjoying the things you are busy of.It's not money nor material things that everyone makes happy as long as you are contented to what you have and self-satisfied.

I don't think there is something wrong with being happy about getting material things,but it shouldn't be the ends and alls of your happiness.happiness should come from within.you should be happy with yourself.you can be happy with yourself by accepting your self,flaws and all.when you are happy with your self,you welcome more happiness given to you by your family and friends.when you are happy with your self,you can give more happiness to other.

Hi alupton2 and welcome to myLot! We have to be happy with ourselves first and foremost before we actually can enjoy and share any form of happiness. Remain true to yourself and always be yourself sweetie because not being true to yourself sort of means you begin to appear sort of fake. If you are true to yourself it makes the happiness flow inward easier.
