Answer 5

Oh Amy,  you are a beacon of light in a sea of drivel.

Happiness is the emotional response to success.

It's not like you can find it under a rock somewhere.  It's simply what you feel when you do what you BELIEVE you should be doing.

So if you are a Christian or Darwinist,  you will be happy when you get an education, a job, a mate & have some offspring.

If you are a Bohiemian,  you'll be happy by getting loaded with friends, writting rock songs and the relentless avoidance of adulthood.

Amy is right, figure out what you want & go get it.

Of course in a sick way Ego is also right, because if you TRUELY accept that there's NOTHING you should be doing, than you will be happy doing NOTHING.

Answer 6

Give up all ambition and practice unconditional acceptance.

Answer 7

By letting it find you, same as love.  In other words, let go and let God.

Answer 8

I hate to say this but Ego was correct hehe.

Let go of your desire and you will be naturally happy. When you can let go of pleasure all the good things then you will let go of all the bad and can accept them as complimentaries. At this point they become neither bad nor good.

Things just happen to you and sometimes they dont.

"Worry not about the morrow for the morrow will worry of the things of itself."

We chose the delusion of bad and good through the Tree of Good and Evil. Free will means we can let that go.

Answer 9

Happiness is a temporary emotional state. One can find short lived happiness in things and places. It is unwise to identify ones happiness with individuals. People will most likely not live up to expectations. Instead seek joy. Joy is can not be stolen or taken away and there is only one way to experience joy that surpasses all understanding...Jesus.

Answer 10

within yourself, we truly knows what makes us happy and our wants; were just afraid to share it believing we would be judged.

Answer 11

happiness depends on happenings, but joy depends on Jesus Christ...

Answer 12

i dont think true happiness is possible to find.

you will never get to a point in your life when all aspects of it are truly all fine and you are happy about EVERYTHING.

there will always be a problem somewhere, even in the background a huge one or even a minor problem.

but true happiness dosent exist.
