Why would you want to be happy all the time? Life would be really boring if you were happy all the time. You would never know that you were happy because you wouldn't have sadness to compare it to.
However, you can be eternally satisfied. Give your life to Jesus and follow him every day and he will help you find satisfaction in any situation you are in. You won't be happy all the time, but you will learn satisfaction.

Honey, Heaven is a perfect place. We live here on earth where things are not so perfect as you well know. You can try to be happy by first loving yourself. When you wake up in the morning, wake up with a smile on your face and thank God for this glorious day and ask Him how you can serve Him today! When you get dressed, dress like you are someone special because you are and you have somone special living within you heart. Put on your make-up and doll yourself up by then you'll be feeling pretty good. After you've taken care of that you must feed your body a good healthy breakfast and all the while you're making it tell your self that you're going to have a happy, joyful day....you can use whatever words you want to use. You can even put I am in front of them, kind of like a mantra! Mantra's help you accomplish or get things that you want. I'm sure you've got the picture by now. You have to take care of yourself first. I've learned that the more you do for others the better it makes you feel. A phone call, a visit, send a card or letter a prayer. If you don't have a church...join one, you won't regret it because you'll meet new friends and all kinds of doors will open for you. If you need money send someone $10.00 or $20.00 annonymously who might need it...you'll be surprised at what happens. If you don't have a pet, get one if you can, they make us happy! If you need a job find a job where you'll be helping someone or being of service like at a veterinarians office or zoo or even a daycare. So you see you can be happy but it has to begin with you. If it's too overwhelming start off taking baby steps at first, their is no time frame. I wish you much happiness in life!

Well first lets define happiness. Wait we can't. Why? We all have differnet perspectives on life and how situations and circumstances affect us.
You have to define what happiness means to you?
material? love? peace of mind? There are so many places and people and things in this world. My best suggestion would be to live your life, doing what you feel as long as you're not hurting anyone in the process.
Life is trial and error, if you don' get out and experience it you will never truly know your own happiness.
It can't come from the praise of others. It can't come from the perspective of others. It can't come from always hoping, It can only come from living and learning these simple things...
What you need.
What you want.
What you can and cannot tolerate.
You learn those, by the way they will always change as you grow as a person, you have a nice easy to read blueprint of you.
Its all about perspective. If you think its gonna be a horrible date its probably going to be. If you say this job sucks, it more than likely will.
Being happy is finding the contentment of you while not allowing the defintion of what you should be from the eyes of others.
Oh, my answer is yes, sure you can be happy, lol.

Sorry Honey I have to say No... Yes, you can find some happiness but it wont be eternal, Only when we are in heaven is eternal happiness, where there wont be no crying, no fighting, no illness, nothing negative that could affect our spirit.
I'm not saying that I am miserable, no, I feel very happy cause I am in Christ. Yes, I have my problems because I get sick, bills to pay, and something feel like no one is there, but whe I open the word of God and can feel a relief that dwells in my soul and gives me comfort to my spirit.
Jesus never promise in this world, Happily ever after. That is when we reign with Him in Heaven.
And I am surely waiting for that day.

Yes it is possible, for I have tasted the eternal happiness here on earth. Unfortunately, she fell in love with a long distance truck driver and I never saw her again. Eternal happiness can just be so fleeting!

The answer to your question on how to achieve happiness is, God! Once you give you life to serving, knowing and loving God, you will experience all the happiness in the world! You could never feel more alive and more joyous than in the arms of God. Open His book, talk to His children, reach out to God's hand. You will never be happier!

Many people pursue careers in entertainment and sports, how many do you know that have attained the succes they so desired? In the Bible, God provides guidance so that your pursuit of happiness does not lead toa dead-end of dissapointment. God can help you to overcome common causes for sadness like, the death of a loved one, finacial diffulculties, family problems, and numerous others. This world keeps mankind under tremendous pressure and in need of comfort and hope. The Bible is the only source of genuine comfort. It offers hope for a new world of righteousness. (Rom. 15:4; 2Â Pet. 3:13) : “Without the Bible we would not know God, would not know the wonderful benefits resulting from Christ’s ransom sacrifice, and would not understand the requirements that must be met in order to get everlasting life in or under God’s righteous Kingdom.”

Try the Universal Theology of the New Jerusalem by Emanuel Swedenborg. Read the original writings not third party opinions or extractions.
