smile and money. wealth, power, authority .... the final we will all die. we are living and it means we are dying too. So get more smile and spend more money that you have.

Thoughts and feelings rise in the minds of the ordinary people like waves on the sea. But the mind of a yogi is like a waveless sea. This placid state is due to his mastery over the self. As a yogi you not need the money, wealth, power and authority to realise the happiness. You're proud owner of happiness and you can share happiness of yours with others also.

Happiness is living the life you want and being satisfied with what you have.

Happiness for me is being single, having my four beautiful cats around me, going to the gym and keeping fit and relaxing in my home, what more could I ask for?

Happiness to me is knowing that my family and friends love me as I love them, for them to be healthy and happy, have enough food to eat, a bed to sleep in and a roof over their heads. Money cannot buy happiness and nor can power, because even people who have both of these things cannot be fulfilled without love, compassion and companionship. :)

Happiness for me would be if my Life would run smoothly and not so many Hitches all the time and having to fight for everything that I am entitled to

For me the happiness is a very hard thing to achieve in the life you have to fight from all the powers from it. But when you will achieve it you will be really contented on the life you have and what you passed to have it. The happiness for me mainly represents the family happiness. Good luck!

Grief grows from desires and attachment. Happiness cannot be attained from satisfying the desires as new desires crop up. Hence happiness lies in contentment. Happiness leads to peace of mind. Peace of mind results in concentration. Concentration is the basis of meditation. Through meditation mind gets united with Sachchidanada. There is no happiness higher than this. Experience of the supreme Bliss is the greatest happiness.
