Many biologists think that our brains have been programmed to keep seeking the "next level". Happiness is the greenness on the other side of the fence.
In other words, most of us will never be entirely satisfied with our lives. Blissful happiness happens to a few people in reality, and most people at the end of fairy tales.
Happiness is like the carrot hanging from the stick tied to the donkey's head. The donkey wants the carrot so he keeps walking, but he will never get it. The carrot is happiness, the donkey is you and me, and Mother Nature wants it that way: It keeps us walking.
This sounds horrible and depressing, but it's NOT: The first step to real happiness is to give up on happiness and stop pursuing it. The most unhappy people in the world are those who are trying really hard to be happy.
Working hard at being happy is like working hard at trying to relax: It doesn't work. Happiness is something that happens when you stop trying. It's the only target you can never hit by aiming right at it.
Give up on happiness and try VIRTUE: By this I mean, stop trying be happy and start trying to be EXCELLENT. Study ancient wisdom: Study the Bible, study Confucius. Work at improving how well you do your work, how well you serve your family, your God, your country -- EVERYTHING BUT YOURSELF.
Being restless and searching for something new and better in your life is the better part of youth and ambition. Use that feeling to accomplish something.

Happiness is not hard to reach. Happiness is a choice honey, regardless of you life right now, no matter how good or bad it may seem you choose to be happy. Once you realize that all the happy, goofy feelings of joy come with it. Trust me! Happiness is being able to laugh at the pain, heartaches, disappointments and all of the other bad crap in life and knowing that you can make it through. It's not easy but God can help you if you let him.

Happiness is fleeting.
Happy is a good time, a fun time, a moment.
Contentment and satisfaction on the other hand, are lasting.
We all have peaks and valleys in our life, and hopefully lots of happy moments, but happiness is a mountain that isn't meant to be lived on.
Contentment with our life is the house on the side of the hill overlooking the valley and gazing up at the mountain. It's the comfortable place we dig for ourselves and keep maintaining to make sure it's in good condition. Done properly, and looked after, it will shelter us through the storms of life, and keep us warm and dry.

Happiness is hard to reach because very few people know that to be happy you have to forget about yourself and try to help others.

depending on the situation, happiness can be an easy thing to reach by simply looking back at all your achievements and asking yourself "how much thankfull can I be for what I've got" - then looking forward to see the oppertunities ahead that would make you look foward for the next hour and the next day and so on. Take advantage of those oppertunities. Have a happy day. Cheers!

Happiness is a level that only you can find within yourself. Reaching that level for me was a gimme. I have a lot of health issues and know that each day may be my last....therefore, happiness to me is my life...my children....my family....knowing that I am blessed with one more day in this world!
Hope you find your true happiness!

Getting something valuable and to be successful make you happy. It take time and effort to reach. Free or easy things won't bring happiness.

Happiness is like a buterfly...if u go behind it..it will fly away from you...and if u stand still it will come to u and sit on u.........
First step to reach happiness is to have a distinction between the happiness and pleasure...
