With life being so unpredictable and many times so very terrible, what makes me happy is knowing that I have God and Jesus Christ to guide my life and I can totally trust in them. Building my faith a little each day helps to make me a happier person. Before accepting Jesus Christ into my heart, I really didn't understand what life was really about. Now I know that in our busy lives, we need to stop for at least a few minutes each day and talk with God because having a relationship with him is what makes me whole and takes away so much of the fear that I used to have. One thing that I wish I would of known sooner is that we don't have to totally believe in Jesus Christ to invite him into our life. We just need to want to believe and ask God to help us to believe, and ask Jesus into our heart and God will take over from there. God Bless.

What makes me happy?
The smell of fresh cut grass
Sitting around a campfire on a chilly evening
The smile of a loved one
Children laughing

Knowledge. There is nothing quite like learning that next formula or that next tidbit that brings together the unification of a whole bunch of other things. Like learning differential calculus then integral calculus, then realizing that they are inverses of each other... that sudden BURST of awareness and clarity.

Nobody "makes" anyone happy. No "thing" causes happiness.
YOU create happiness yourself within you.
The same applies to unhappiness actually.
The greatest joy there is in life is creating !
Keep doing that and notice your happiness when you do it.
