Answer 1

most of the time happiness may be in different ways like mental happiness, phsychological happiness ,happiness in physical attitude  and so on . today most of  times people refer only money as happiness but according to me money may fulfill all our wants but it may not provide mental  happiness ,  as usuall i think mingling with others and chating with people around makes us happy,  spending our time visiting our favourite places , by listening to musics , there are many wayw for happiness

Answer 2

Happiness is a man who has pillow fights with you at 4am and makes you laugh until you cry.  I don't have money, as my children all take it.  I have dogs.  They are my samity.  They don't ask for anything, other than food and clean water.

Answer 3

Happiness is having peace, calmness, serenity in your life. Peace is found in your heart in spite of the situation you are in.  

Answer 4

Happiness is a circumstance or a set of circumstances that causes a feeling of elation.

This is quite different from joy. Joy resides within and needs no external stimulation. It is a gift.

The two are not exclusive; a person can "have"/"be" both.

Answer 5

I think that happiness has alot to do with being content, and making the most of the way things work out.

Accepting you're life, others and yourself i think i also leads to a more happy life- being satisfied with what you have,

And also realising how well of you are and not taking things or people for granted.

I hope u get what i mean =]

Answer 6

Happiness is cool.

Answer 7

I believe that happiness can be said to be content.  Content would be a better way to put it.  If you are content with life then it is what you hoped for or expected.  You could then be said to be happy.  Of course, it's hard so you might just have to settle for second best.  As the saying goes, when the sh*t hits the fan you have time to duck!

Answer 8

Being happy is just to see  the simple things in life like the sky and sunshine. The trees and birds singing in the morning. Nice people who communicate with you and say hello. A routine to follow each and everyday. Make sudden change with lifestyle time to time. Make your life a little better. Do what's right and learn from your mistakes to become more wiser and more intelligent. Everyday you're bettering yourself.  There are lots to learn about life as you can see. People learn to be more wiser each and everyday from trial and error. Some times creating a situation kind of makes the day interesting.  

Answer 9

Happiness in my view is staying in the presence and provision of the Lord. I know it may sound religious and all but thats what my view is. I can say I am happy because I am assured the Lord will provide. The desires man have should not be of the world because we all know this world will come to pass one day.

I think the best way to achieve personal happiness is by being able to balance your whole being, like you shouldn't just supply yourself physically but also emotionally, psychologically, socially, spirituality, etc. I know you can't really maintain perfect balance in all the aspects of your life but doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make it perfect.

Happiness = purpose.
