What do you think would bring the most happiness to your life right now?
Happiness can mean something different to each person.
Do you think that happiness is all about feeling good? Or, is it more about relationships?
Some people think it’s about having lots of money. But, would you say that all rich people are happy?
If you had a LOT of money, what would you do with it, to make yourself happy?
Do you think it has a lot to do with a person’s attitude about life or has more to do with a person’s circumstances in life?
Do you think that older persons have a better understanding of what can bring happiness to their lives?
Do you think that a person with low expectations is happier than a person with high expectations?
Being happy is all about what, in your opinion?

When all relationship with my family is good then It is happiness for me.
Money is not our happiness but it is sadness for me because when we have lots of money then we have much tension.
I feel happy being my self only when my all relationship are good.
Different people has different thinking so it is nice topic for. discuss.

It's not just a state of mind because way too many people will ruin it for you. How do they know your state of mind? I have my own theories but won't say. (Can't) It does have to do with having a stable mind however and definitely your circumstances including the financial aspects. Lots of things, are we around people we like, are we getting treated like we treat others, are we doing anything we like or is it what others like and they impose that on you .Do we like who we are, do we like others, yes like you mention relationships, being able to trust others, etc.

Yes, good answers. All of the above. It's a combination of things that make us really happy, I think and a lot of our own happiness depends on our attitude about things too.

happiness for me is my brother and i saying the same thing at the same time.
impromptu dinner plans with my best friends
my mother cooking dinner for us
playing football in the rain
finding money in my jeans pocket
reading a new book not knowing how it will change me
having deep 4am conversations with my friends
feeling my dog's cold nose on my knee
ice cream on a hot day
a subtle kiss that no one sees
long hugs that mean something
happiness is having those i love around me, safe and happy.
it would be stupid to say money doesn't impact one's happiness but there are many more important things than that.
circumstances can affect happiness but happiness is to a large extent dependent on your state of mind. you can make yourself happy.
