To judge from the lives lived by most men, we identify happiness with pleasure.
There are three types of life--the pleasure seeking, the political, and the contemplative life.
Most folks are quite slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to animals.
A consideration of the prominent types of life shows that people of refinement identify happiness with honor; for this is, roughly speaking, the goal of the political life.
But it seems too superficial to be what we are looking for, since it is thought to depend on those who bestow honor rather than on him who receives it.
The good happy life is something intrinsic to a contemplative man and not easily taken from him.
Happiness is thought.

If you ask me to do anything ahead of time - the prefix "pre" comes into play. So if you ask me to ponder happiness - what results is a "preponderance of happiness".

Loving yourself.
True happiness though is knowing, understanding, and living God's will for you. You might not believe it but I've seen it in enough people to know it's the truth.
