the answer lies in your question. happiness can not be defined but experienced. it is inside the mind.money and success to some extent only give happiness. one need not have plenty of money at his disposal by looking at the rising sun in the east, the dew drops on pieces of grass, in the morning and listening to the songs of the unknown birds, give immense happiness..

Happiness is a personal choice. Happiness is not dependent on money or other people. One who gives control of his/her own happiness over to someone else is bound to end up lost, hurt & still searching. Placing your faith in money to make you happy will also disappoint. How many rich people have you heard of who committed suicide? A lot. No THING can make you happy. You have to decide to be happy. See the glass half full instead of half empty. Find joy in little things. And the most important part is knowing your creator. Have a relationship with God. Until I found Him I was wandering around searching here & there as it seems you are now. We can find happy moments here & there but to know the true meaning of happiness you have to know the true meaning of love and that is God.

It is the one which makes u happy......each one is happy because of something at everystage of life.......when u were an infant.....your mother's warmth made u happy.......when grown up talking to your dad made u happy.......still then playing with your brothers, sisters made u happy........then when u are into school.......your friends.......then at college.......your love.......then later......your job.......job satisfaction.......self esteem......then comes marriage.......then is your kids........and at last the true satisfaction in your mind about what your life is.......
You can never search for physical, financial happiness.......they are transient......but i can say u emothinal happiness is the best...... even if it is stays a little time.......you can never forget it......u might have forgotton your first lovely suit u had......but still i think u would not have forgotton the way u enjoyed it..........thats it......
and helping others can make u happy only when u really dont feel that u are helping them......once if u start feeling that u are helping them.....then u start expecting.......reward or to be repayed.......and there starts worries.......so live your life as it goes.....time gives you true happiness whenever u need........

If we depend on any one or any thing for our happiness, we will never be happy. We can find happiness in out outlook and our attitude, A sunny day can make me happy, as well I love a rainy day there is nothing more beautiful than lightning, more exciting that watching the ocean tide , it is all in out head and how we perceive out world around us, and what we allow to be part of our lives.

Happiness, pleasure or joy is the emotional state of being happy. The definition of happiness is one of the greatest philosophical quandaries. Proposed definitions include freedom from want and distress, consciousness of the good order of things, assurance of one's place in the universe or society, inner peace, and so forth.

Happiness is only granted to those who don't require much of life. Those who are happy with little, have found happiness; but for those who always require more and more and more will never be happy. I guess, in other words, happiness is contentment? I don't know.

It is not happiness to see someone suffer--it is vindictiveness.
The other things you mentioned make people happy are mostly for one aspect of their lives.
To me, happiness is joy in your family life; satisfied with your home and surroundings; content with your job; being creative with your talents or gifts; look forward to each day; enjoying fellowship with your friends, neighbors, family; being able to go fishing or going on trips. To be able to do all this with peace and harmony is truly happiness....and much, much more.
