Happiness is a butterfly. If you catch it you kill it.
Seek satisfaction. Contentment is the key to a happy life.

I guess I would define "true happiness" as all aspects of life falling into place. For some, it would be having the right career, finishing school, being with the right significant other, all relationships with family and friends going really well....maybe all happening at once. I know I've had glimpses of true happiness, and days that I've felt truly content, but for now, I feel I need to work on a few things to obtain true happiness for myself. It probably varies per individual.

true happiness..is inner peace, the ability to have peace within even when things are not going well. True peace only comes when you have salvation, knowing no matter how bad you had screwed up in the past that your were forgiven and given a new spirit. That my friend is true happiness and yes I have it!

To me "True Happiness" is an eternal bliss of self. It is a state of mind that has you fully content and aware of who you are. A tranquil peace of mind magnified only to your own liking. True Happiness can only be found in yourself. Not in others. But it can be "by" others. Meaning they accompany your happiness that led you to that state of comfort. ie boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, friends, pets, the earth, the heavens, the universe, brother, aunt, and so forth. But the only "True Happiness" that is involved is the very "though" of what makes you happy. Unless it is yourself, Because "True happiness"(to my acceptance) is when you are at peace with what exists. When you can look into the vastness of the universe and just be at awe. No feelings, but peace. Not love. Peace. Because you are "truly happy" with yourself. Maybe GOD is the same way. Content by HIMSELF or HERSELF.
I personally have found it, but have not grasped it yet. For it is not mine for the taking, but to be granted by The Most High. Till then, I learn. PEACE!
BTW- I answered like such because you said "True Happiness" and not just "happiness". For "True Happiness" can never leave nor disappoint you. But other brief passings of joy(happiness) can be followed by grief, sorrow, and deep regret. "True Happiness" can not. Non attachment. Buddhist philosophy to reach nirvana(eternal bliss or "True Happiness" as you put it).

I think there are some amazing levels of happiness while on earth, but I think "true happiness" will be found after our time here.

Yes, it's when you live totally for the present moment and are thankful for everything in your life; realising that everything happens for a reason and you are exactly where you should be; when you have released all anger/bitterness from the past and you do not worry about the future. It's having inner peace and a wonderful state to be in. I try to stay there as much as possible.

True happiness is having my baby in bed with my husband and me as we all cuddle up on a Sunday morning. Not really asleep, barely awake and just feeling the love that surrounds us

True happiness is being content with your faults knowing that you are you. Tru happiness is knowing that you have something to live for even if you are not sure of what it is.

I don't even think in terms of finding happiness in life. I find it incredible that people actually experience it. The last time I felt genuine happiness was twenty years ago.
