My mom asked me the other day if I was happy, and I said, "Yeah, I guess,so". I thought about it and I wasn't really sure if I was really happy or not. Is this weird? Help! How do I know if I am really happy?

1. Do you feel loved by family and friends?
2. Do you wake up in the morning, excited and ready to start the day?
3. Do you smile for no particular reason sometimes?
4.Do you rush to the phone everytime it rings, so you can talk to someone and brighten up their day.
5. Do you have only good thoughts in your heads, covering up the bad ones?
Answer yes to all of these, and you are HAPPY!!

Well, it's natural to feel that way 'coz life naturally has a lot of troubles that's why you don't know if you are really happy or not. If you are focused on problems, it is hard to tell if you are happy. Happiness has a deep meaning and it can be seen and felt if you dig deeper. It's a result of how you face life whether you are in good or bad situations, like being able to weather the storms that are always present in your life and able to overcome it, or the positive attitude you have if you have a problem that is hard to solve. It is like feeling good even if the situation is already bad because you have hope that it will change or it can be solved. It's like being thankful even if you don't receive anything. In summary, it is the state where you are glad in your heart, in good times and in bad times.

if the first thing that you do when you wake up is smile.
if when you pray, the first thing that comes into your mind are the words ''thank you''.
if you're not asking for much more in life and feel contented with what you have.
you'll know if you're happy when you find your heart jumping with joy without knowing why.
but there's one thing that we have to remember though: happiness is always a choice. as what they say, if you want an apple and God gave you an orange, make an orange juice. in other words, make use of what God has given you and enjoy them. learn something from every event and happenings that he has brought into your life cause you'll surely benefit from them... if not today, in the future.

It is always weird for someone to ask you that. But, she would not have asked you if you are happy. Just do something that has always lifted your spirits and if you do not feel good afterwards then your'e not happy.

u seemed not so sure about yourself.... the measurement of happiness is contentment and peace of mind... when u have that, u can proudly say, "yes, I am happy" without thinking and batting an eye lashes...

what do you mean you guess do you have anything to measure this against when you were not happy or you were the happiest as long as you don't have problems you should always feel at ease and please and happy
