Happiness to me is not having a whole list of things to worry about. Just a nice, quiet existence without things going wrong and things that cause stress and anxiety. Happiness is also my family.

Happiness is having my husband and kids around me. Winning the lottery would be a big plus but not really necessary.

For me happiness is having someone with you in times of troubles and in times of those happy days. I would be happy if someone would stand by my side. I don’t like to be alone.

To me happiness is those times in my life where I am content with family and feeling confident and full of love. Those things make me happy, and it kind of even includes my work. As long as I am doing what makes me happy and stuff that has me pulling to come back and do more, then I know life is good.

Thumbs up

For me happiness lies in the simplest of things. It lies in the hopes for tomorrow, the work of today, the aspirations of my family and it also lies in knowing that I have a peaceful conscience.

There are many forms of happiness, for mother her happiness is in her child's happiness, for a business man his happiness is in his business profits, for a student his happiness is in his success in studies, so there are no general term of happiness... yeah but everyone wants to be rich so if it is achieved he/she is happy...so this is the form of happiness i believe in..

Happiness to me is nothing but a state of mind. A person can be happy under all circumstances if he really wishes to.

People generally associate happiness with wealth, material belongings and even loved ones. In my mind, all these are just an add-ons. They bring to you a sense of security and thereby you feel happy.

I would rather say that instead of focusing on these things to achieve happiness, one would dwelve more deeper inside and try to find real true happiness.

Happiness when associated with outside world is always in danger of being robbed.
Hence the best way to remain happy forever is to find Happiness … INSIDE YOU !!!

Regards,

This remind me of a quote which I've always remembered in my heart.
"Happiness is not how much you have to enjoy, but how you enjoy what you have".
To me, happiness is enjoying life, living life to its fullest, spending quality time with you family, friends and loved ones. To love and be loved. To put in simple, just enjoy life!

Happiness is what you feel when you do something good for some one else. This could be any thing. And you could be doing it for some one from your own family or even for total strangers. When you do something selfless for some one else and that makes them happy, then you will feel true happiness.

Happiness for me is being contented with what I have, spending some time with my loved ones and being able to find my real purpose in this world.
