The definition of happiness is truly different for everyone.
For me, it's being loved and admired, feeling like I've accomplished something, and making others happy.

The ability to smile and/or laugh even in the worst circumstances. (laughing may not be appropriate at a funeral, but otherwise...) Happiness is not selfish nor selfless; it is a combination of the two. Happiness is also loving for the sake of loving.

Happiness is not itself an emotion. it is a word which states a condition, and the anatomy of that condition is interest. Happiness, you could say, is the overcoming of not unknowable obstacles toward a known goal.

Happiness is anything that makes you feel good or puts a smile on your face.

Happiness is smoking the herb, then eating something very hearty like a thanksgiving or christmas meal and enjoying it with all your friends and loved ones.

I heard an old black man, named "Buttermilk" say that in order to be happy, you only need three things: Something to love, something to do, and something to take care of. You might also read the "Desiderada" and the "Prayer of Saint Francis Assissi".

i see a difference between happiness and joy. i think happiness is a sort of temporary satisfaction within life circumstances. i think joy is that inexpressible peace within the core of a being despite life circumstances. my joy comes only through knowing christ, the prince of peace.

Happiness is when you are with your family and friends and when God is pleased with you.
