What does happiness means for you?

Peace and freedom, my family, food, shelter, traveling and books. I agree with @Marcyaz , the key to happiness is to be content with what you have. I've seen people who have nothing and no one but can still live happily, and I've seen those who have everything, envied by others, yet still living miserable lives.

Happiness for me is good health, to be able to help others, some money indeed, and some good friends who also share my interests. Being in the lap of nature also makes me happy.

To me happiness is being content with what I have, my family, dogs and cats ,friends, house, and my vehicle. Having enough to eat and able to enjoy life.

very much unpredictable for me. At times it can be as simple as floating a paper boat on the poodle of water and at times, even a mug of iced coffee or a choco cake doesnt seem to work. At the moment, it is neutral, I am neither happy nor sad.

It means for me and my family to be healthy and to be content with our lives and to be at peace.

Happiness for me means you are satisfied with what you have, a family that is always there for you and a life where you will encounter problems that will mold you to become a better person. We should always smile at our problems because we can find a solution to every problem if we have the strenght of happiness.

Happiness is a state of mind. We could feel happy seeing a chirpping bird, flowing river, snow on the mountain, thumping waves on a beach or seeing a little kid smile. Happiness is directly related to contentment, if we feel contended, we would feel happy. Positive attitude also keeps us happy. I try to remain positive and contended and if something sad happens I try to divert my mind.

I feel happy when I set myself a goal, and I fullfil it, other things like not having finantial problems, and a healthy family to rely on are important things in life, yet, I think that one can be happy, even in the most extreme circumstances, if our lives are fill with challenges and all those little successes that make it worth living it.

Happiness can be a really funny thing to pin down. There are some people who struggle to find their happiness, and there are others who find it a lot easier to grab onto. Guess what they say is true, it's all a matter of opinion and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For me though, personally, happiness results for one simple thing. Am I doing the best I can? Are my friends and family doing the best they can? Perfection is the white whale many people seek. I take pleasure in the little things which make you smile. The silliness of children for example, they really do have a perspective where we can learn a lot of. A bright sunny day also leads to much happiness. I'm not too hard to please, most of the time. Just the simple things in life. Really, is there anything more?

You currently know where i am at, Just back from the USA after a broke up in my relationship with my partner, I have nothing apart from a bag of things. No home to go to, no job and so on. However I have myself and feel positive at times things will work out. Being so far down makes you think and stand back and look around you and see the beauty of life and what we have, that makes me happy for now. I'm happy being here on Mylot interacting with other, it's keeping me going.

It would be nice to be with someone, to be able to give all my love to that special person in my life.

I'm like you, I just need the basics in life. People who care about me and enough money to be comfortable. I don't really hanker after things that are out of my reach. I guess that's called contentment.

I'm happy with where I'm at with my life at the moment, little money but plenty of riches in my life - my husband, my home, friends, contributing to the community. Life is good.

To me happiness is a lot of little "joys" here and there.

Yes, feeling good about ones life is very important in whether you are happy or not. My life is my kids(grandkids and daughter)and if they are happy, working and in strong relationships then I am a happy camper.
