How do you find happiness?

Question

because i'm loosing sight

and if you say find god i swear i'll die

Answer 1

Find God. He's in your heart.

Answer 2

It is not "found". You can only create it.

Answer 3

you smile at everyone.

Answer 4

i don't go out and find it. My friends always ask me how i stay so positive and happy all the time. Well, my answer is this, i think if you are open to anything and everything that comes at you and you embrace challenges instead of shying away from them then you can be happy. Its all about the way you look at things. If you keep on saying to yourself that everything is going to be alright and there are brighter days ahead then happiness will come so naturally you won't even have time for depression.

Smile more often, think positively, exercise.. make things easier for yourself and be around people you love to be around with.

Answer 5

By keep living.

Answer 6

Happiness is something that that comes from within.  If you need something outside of yourself to be happy, that will never last.  Find the things that you like to do, and do them.  And you evidently know about God.  Bless you

Answer 7

some people have a healthy sight, but do not have a healthy insight and they live and die miserable all their life. They can not feel how much they r precious  and needed. In the poorest countries of the world, where there r the needy, sick and their is the least elements of a good life, u still see happy smiling faces, children that r filled with joy at the least item of care, love given to them. Yet in the richest parts of the world, though everything is provided u can find mesary. So physical elements in life r not an assured, dependable source 4 happiness. One must not be fooled by  the physical, material entities, they r easily destroyed. Such  entities can bring a momental pleasure but not an outlasting happiness. I am sure that no person in the whole world was able 2 reach happiness depending on material , physical things alone. Joy and happiness r different from pleasure we aquire from physical things. Now if u depend so much on the physical elments and neglect the power of ur mind and insight, i can not assure u that u can find happiness. U should have the will  and the mind 2 meditate through our existence, at the point where one can find joy, at the point where one realizes that no human being is perfect , but is special and can reach the stars with his will. Many rich, perfectly healthy people died alone or became crazy. Their health and wealth could not help them to reach Joy. They might have had momental but not endless happiness. No matter what problems we say, one should say iam here, iam special, it up 4 the individual 2 be strong and find his own way through life, and it is better to look inside than outside. The outside world is different and not stable comes and goes, gives u life and death every moment, THE intelligent person is the one who realizes this truth, or else he will stay hopeless& desperate. The outside world gives pleasurable moments 4 money, power. physical entities, but it is the inside will of the individual that gives him life to continue and find his right place if he wants to. There is a famous saying "If it is to be, it is up to me"

I hope i helped in a way, and i want to say that each person has his own difficult problems, what makes people different or happier is their will on deeling, facing and cooping with their problem, spiritual or physical.

Answer 8

ive been considering the same question for quite a long time.... i imagine the thing i want most, but can never have (love) and the hope that I may be wrong and i may find it keeps me happy...... for the most part..... God on the other hand only causes a complication as to why i cant have what i want.... so when i factor in god all i want to do is die...

Answer 9

It's actually bone simple.

Happiness is the psychological sense of pleasure your mind rewards you with for being successful.

Basically, if you are doing what you THINK you should be doing, you will be happy.

But if you have no dreams or desires, OR you feel completely thwarted in achieving those D&Ds, then you will be un-happy, which is your mind 'punnishing' you for not succeeding.

Now the reason so many people say "Find God" is because Religion clearly defines a 'purpose'.  And since happiness comes from the sense you are achieving your purpose, it follows that the Religious are generally happier, than those 'guessing' at a purpose.  

So the Religious say "God makes them happy"  but it's more accurate to say "The BELIEF in God makes them  happy."

If you absolutly DO NOT believe in God this won't work for you.  You must either embrace the Darwinian sense of life, i.e. get a job & make some babies,  or define your own sense of purpose.

Good luck kid.

Answer 10

Give some happiness to somebody else. Then you'll find it again.

Answer 11

what phil8656 said.

Answer 12

Nooo!  Just stop looking for it in the wrong places.  Most of the time, it would come naturally if one would just welcome it and give it a little kiss -- or something.

Don't you know the lost item usually shows up when it is not being sought.

Answer 13

i sniff puppy feet cos i like the smell. i drink wine cos i like the taste and i eat chocolate without feeling guilty. i laugh at myself and at others and i never ever take serious situations to heart... i can't remember who said it but it sure is true...

everything serious should be treated with the greatest triviality and everything trivial should be treated with a great and respectful seriousness.

if all else fails get blind drunk and argue with christians in R&S....

Answer 14

me. i am happy. because if i am not happy,  i am sad. so i am happy. and i swear if i am not i will die, i swear, i really do. and that is true, i swear. that is why i chose to be happy.

Answer 15

If you want to find happiness, you need to really look it's there. I know that might sound corny/cheesy but it's kind of true. Let me answer your question:

The way I find happiness is by simply being with my friends, by laughing more than I probably should, even in the darkest times finding something to laugh at, I remember good times or special moments, I also listen to music and dance, even though some of the movements aren't quite right or like the professionals, that can include dancing around the house or(dare to try it) dancing in public or doing a few little moves here and there. The way I stay happy is by living in the moment, and trust me I do have some not so great and happy moments, we all do. It's up to you to decide how you're going to get through a situation and how you want to go on. For some people it is putting faith in God I do that too, but I don't want to make you mad, so...there are plenty things that make me happy even the most simple things.

Don't give up in whatever you're doing, please.

Life is too short to just give up, don't you have dreams? I don't care what age you are, you're never too old or anything to accomplish dreams. That also may sound corny and cheesy, but it's true.

I hope this has helped.

Even though you probably don't want to hear it, I'll pray for you.

Good luck with everything!:D

Answer 16

Look under the things that matter most. These are the things most people ignore, except once a year or during serious illnesses.

KEY: If you can't savor 3 minutes tomorrow morning, you can't find happiness, no matter how hard you search.

Answer 17

Stop looking in the wrong places!  Happiness is somewhere in you; take the time to realize that no matter how many troubles you have, you are still lucky to be on this planet, and even to be with the people you are with.  Laugh harder than you should!  Try not to cry over things that don't go your way and think about the great things in your life.

After doing all that, maybe you'll realize what happiness truly is.

Answer 18

such that I am not looking for it, don't waste time

Answer 19

okay don't ponder on anything unknown treat life as a day by day thing and dumber people are usually happier, im not saying smack yourself in the head, but one word HUMOUR if you watch comedy for a whole day you'll feel better.

Answer 20

you choose to be happy or not.

Answer 21

Happiness is different for everyone.  For SOME it's God, but for others its art, or knowledge, or family, etc.  The best answer I can say is if you want to find happiness, sometimes you have to really search for it.  Nobody can tell you what will lead you to happiness...you have to explore until you find that special thing.

Answer 22

You will find happiness once you stop looking for it. It comes to you in small doses that you may never notice because you are busy searching for one big thing to make you happy. Stop looking, start noticing, and be happy.
