How could you say that you have lived your life the way it should be and that you have already achieved your happiness? They say one of the hardest things to achieve in a human's life is happiness because not all of us know where and how to find it. Having all you want and all you need is not a guarantee that you are truly happy and contented. So what is the real meaning of happiness for you?

Yes indeed. There is no guarantee that you will be happy when you have everything. As a matter of fact, having something to dream about or having a goal makes me happier. For me, it's like I still have time to improve and challenge myself at the same time. Happiness is probably brought about by positive outlook, contentment, and a genuine smile. But real joy can only be found in God alone. It's like even though you have lots of problems and things to think about, you can still face the day with a real smile on your face because you know that He will make everything better. :)

I think my happiness would be is when the time comes and I can be sure that I am able to take care of the future of my kids without anybody's help. It is hard to depending on others for all the things that my family needs. But I am grateful to all of them who are there with us. But my happiness really would be standing up proud that I have made my family as ideal as possible so that my kids would have a better life when they are already on their own.
