A baby's laugh, a sunny day, a marriage, being in love, a sense of well being.

In order to receive happiness, it takes an equal amount of Effort; compensation is required. Life does not sway back and forth around a zero point. For example you take the good with the bad; just as you take the bad with the good? That view in inaccurate. To experience a certain amount of happiness you must also experience the same amount of unhappiness as payment. The idea comes from having to tolerate the bad times in order to enjoy the good times. Assuming that good times will arise merely because you have bad times isn’t simply optimism. In other words, to take the high road, a higher viewpoint demands a deeper valley. For it not to meet those expectation would be insincere. There must always be an equivalent exchange. Another example would be if you’re destined down a path of misery, in order to break out that depth, you must also drum up the energy to do so. Calculations are necessary to control the situation to a desired conclusion. So to put it VERY SHORT... the **** that you want doesn't fall out the sky and hit your face. Everything that happening to you now thats bad or good is your fault. So... you are the cause of your own happiness. DONE

The causes of happiness are within your control.
You should not let someone else dictate what your happiness is.
You can take a look around and find so many things that give you reason to be happy. The mere fact that you are breathing the air you are right this instance is a great reason to be happy.
The fact that you are who you are should give you some self gratification that gives you the key to your inner happiness.
Do not let anyone determine what makes you happy, feel it, it is something that is intangible but definitely there.
Your determination and self awareness is all you need.

Ignorance, delusion....
Ok no, that's the cynic in me coming out. I'm having a rough day.
The causes of happiness are loving yourself, loving life and loving others. Doing things you enjoy. Having things to look forward to. Appreciating the little things. Making the most of each day. Now if I could just follow my own advice maybe I'd be having a better day!
:)

i have found happiness in being self aware, totally knowledgeable in who I am has prevented a lifetime of pain and suffering, as I can avoid situations or invite situations depending on who I am
it is truly the only road to a lifeitme of happiness, stop checking out others who cares, life is about the self and one should focus only on the self.. not others
