Money is definitely not the key of happiness. Actually, satisfaction is the key. If you are satisfied with your life, your job, your family....., then you will be happy. Therefore, always try to be satisfy with the life you have now, don't be too greedy or ask for stuffs that you can never get. However, if you are not satisfied, try your best to improve your life. But, the truth is, our eagerness never end. Human is naturally greedy, we always want more. So, to stay happy, you have to try to be satisfied of what you have now, and realize you have a very good life compare to people in Africa who died by hunger.

Happiness is happiness, neither money nor anything else. Just happiness.

Lani said here that "Hapiness is when the serotonine and dopamine in the brain are balanced.....Chronic unhapines maybe a sign that your brain chemicals aren't balanced." Very true, but couldn't it be just as true to say that brain chemicals out of balance are a symptom of unhappiness? This restates and reverses the cause and affect.

Alan W. Watts, in his 1940 book "The Meaning Of Happiness" makes statements such as (the condition for happiness) "is very much like learning to love someone. You cannot look up a book of rules and find out how to love, although many such books have been written" and "...describe it as the journey of a lunatic all over the world in search of his head, which he had never lost."

Happiness is a state. We can be predisposed toward it by other conditions; wealth, health, companionship, nature, a sense of well-being, excitement, pleasure. All can make it easier, but none by itself is a guarantee of happiness.

Ill-health, poverty, pain and suchlike may be excuses for not being happy, but that excuse is beaten down every time we see someone who has less or worse than we have and notice that they are happy.

Happiness is like a soap bubble or butterfly in that the more it is grasped or chased for itself, the more it eludes us. We notice that we are feeling it when we are doing something else and the more we concentrate on it instead of just feeling it, the more it goes away.

Sadly, that is quite up to the individual. I myself am a loner, and time to myself is what I require to keep tuned.

However, what tends to work best for people is a true balance of activities, company and time to one's self. Take stock of your life and happenings and figure out where you are deficient. All work and no play? Get a hobby. Feel unimportant at your job? Find a new job, or if that is not practical, volunteer at your local church kitchen, homeless shelter, local recreational council (always looking for volunteer coaches, stat keepers, etc) or other such outfit. Sometimes giving back can make you feel rather good.

It will require some soul searching, but the key to your own happiness is entirely within you. Nobody else can really do it for you, at least until you can do it for yourself.

You know some people seem to be born to be unhappy for one reason of another and some are born to worry. There is a group or some such that uses a book called "Mind over Mood" which you should look into. It would be appropriate to talk to your Doctor about this as it may be a mild depression. It is no way to live and should be worked on.

I have thought about this question for many a year and the best answer is this: True happiness does not come from outside of your life, rather it occurs when you are comfortable with who you are. True happiness occurs also when you are able to understand the idea of unconditional love, embrace the idea, then practice the idea until that love you send out returns to you ten-fold, unconditionally. True happiness is that place inside you that you have created and it is a place you are willing to share with only a very select few.
But remember this...for it is also true...be true to yourself, above all else. Shakespeare said it better: "To thine ownself be true, for it stands to follow, as the night the day, that then thou canst be false to any man."

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Hapiness is when the serotonine and dopamine in the brain are balanced. These chemicals bring signals to the nervendings of the brain. When the amount of dopamine and serotonine are disturbed, it can cause depression. Hapiness may not only be measured in terms of material things.Chronic unhapines maybe a sign that your brain chemicals aren't balanced.

money would desire to purchase you happiness in an analogous way that it is going to purchase you a plate of nachos. that's to declare that it could in case you realize the place that's had, what to reserve, how, and if it somewhat is even available in the 1st place. attempt ordering a plate of nachos once you're by myself in the wasteland. attempt ordering one that comes from Mars. attempt ordering one in a cafe the place you are able to't communicate the language. for this reason those with a superb form of money are frequently unhappy. money would desire to purchase happiness yet that may not ALL you will desire to get it.
