To live each day as though it’s your last
To aim for the sky and to reach.
To know that the pleasure you find in each thing
Is to keep, to learn and to teach.
Each day holds a moment of pleasure
Each minute, a second of pain
But the real pleasure comes when you realise
It’s better to give than to gain.
Reality cannot be altered
Our lives will tick by each day
And everything that we hold near us
Vanishes, slowly, from day to day.
“For long you life and high you fly
And joy you give and tears you cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.”
-Anonymous
That's a poem that I wrote and a quote at the end that I thought was appropriate. There will always be moments of pain and sadness in your life. But happiness is when you can overcome that pain and sorrow and find something in the world that makes you feel good about the world and about yourself and makes you want to smile. Sometimes you can find it in a person, sometimes you can find it in an action that makes you happy, and some people can look at everything in the world and see something good and pure, and that makes them happy.

Happiness is an inside job. We often look to others or material possessions to decide if we have enough to be happy. Get grateful and you always have enough! When you find your bed lumpy - remember those in the streets. When you hate your job - think of the unemployed. If you have brats for kids, I was never able to have more than one...you get the idea. It is not always easy to want what we have in a society that picks what is acceptable to determine wealth. A poor old man that is happy is much better off than a company CEO that is miserable! Start looking at what you do have! I suggest Stormie O'Martin book on the Power of a Praying (wife, woman...there are many) You don't have to be religious to get some great insight on how we tick and some terrific suggestions to "re-frame" that thinking to allow ourselves to be happy. Being taught from birth that a mansion, 7 figure salary or yellow house with a white picket fence are perhaps goals but the journey to achieve these goals is called living! Relax and choose to be happy - forever!

Loving God and all that God loves, hearing my children laugh and this is and always will be for my life time. So yes you have it for a life time. I feel happiness is the memorable moments you spend with your family, friends and the people whom you love the most. The joy of happiness is experienced when you share something with others, hold someones hand and be there to help them when life isn't just going right for them, share your happiness with everyone. I feel that happiness does not lie in temporary things which stay with us for only some time and are of material value. Real value should be given to a person's heart, character, values and ethics.
Hope you find happiness around you.

happiness is when problems last only for one day. No it's not possible to be happy for a life time, not after 20.

True happiness only lasts a moment. It is the memory of how you felt that makes it last forever.

Happiness is fleeting. You need to tell yourself to be happy. Happiness doesn't come just like that. Happiness doesn't come because you bought yourself stuffs.
