What is Happiness?
We can all define what makes us happy, but what is happiness?
Happiness is a state that we are in when we reach a point in our lives of joyful times. Maybe it's finding that perfect soul mate, or reaching a high goal we have set up for ourselves. Happiness comes from within, and anyone can find happiness in anything they do.
Happiness is finding contentment, balance and acceptance of the inevitable in your life. Anyone can find happiness for themselves if they let themselves be guided by their true self.
Happiness is satisfaction - with your life and with your life choices. Happiness is acceptance - of who you are and what you are capable of doing or not doing. Happiness is seeing your past as a tapestry of colors. Each color represents an event, a person, a lesson learned. Woven together, the colors are seen as happiness because in it you see your life as a total work of art!
Happiness is learning that we do not need anyone's permission to be happy. We do not need to please everyone nor do we need to change to make others like us.
Coming into your own. Creating your own happiness and finding success and joy in the simple things. Forming a balance and confidence that gives you the settled feeling that everything is right where it should be.
Thank you all for your replies. I'll keep each and every one of your words close by as a reminder when time gets tough

Happiness starts within. It incorporates so many things. We find happiness with sharing moments with our love ones. We find happiness traveling to distants places that interest us. We find happiness in accomplishing great achievements, but then we have to return back to our reality. What if we...

I have had my share of philosophy guys, and I must speak the thing in your face- you got little idea of how things revolve in reality. Check your pulse, and consider the fact, you are drugged with religious ideas. Give a heck, happiness is the only wisdom. Stop that cry for enlightenment; it's your...
