Do you feel there is something missing from your life? That perhaps the world is against you or that other people seem to smile, laugh and be a lot more happy and contented in life than you are? Have you ever stopped to wonder why this might be? Moreover, what you can do about it? Have you even considered what happiness actually is?
Happiness and contentment in life differs for all of us, what makes one person happy doesn’t necessarily bring contentment to another. Very often we are happy in life but we just don’t realize it. Very often the hustle and bustle of life can completely overtake all else and leaves us little time to enjoy the things that make us smile and enjoy life to the fullest. If you stop and sit down and think about what actually makes you happy and feel contented, you might actually find you have those things already around you but you just didn’t realize it.
Your happiness and contentment depends entirely on you, no one else can give it you, it is something inside you that you have to find and work towards. You can either decide to stop in the rut or to take positive action and make changes to your life or yourself in order to accomplish contentment.
In order to understand what happiness means to you, the first step you should take is looking at your emotions, ask yourself questions such as “if I could be enjoying something in my life, what would it be?” and “what makes me feel contented in my life right now?” Once you understand what your vision of happiness and contentment is you can build on what you have now or focus on changing your life to what you would like it to be.
There is no magic spell or potion that can bring you contentment and happiness, it is something that is already right there inside of you, you just have to realize what it is and develop and bring it out to start enjoying life. Happiness can be found in family life, work, relationships, nature or a pet, to name just a few, in fact it can be found in anything and any situation if you just know where to look and look in the right direction, the inner you.
enjoy your life ..
have a great day ..
Good luck ..

Happiness is different to everyone. It's a state that most, if not everyone strives to achieve. Above all else to experience true happiness I believe we must know how to be happy on our own. We cannot expect someone else to make us happy because take that away and we fall apart (been there, done that). I agree that true love can bring you happiness but only if you are happy as an individual!

Happiness can be anything that brings you joy, contentment, love, and peace. But you will never find the Elusive Happiness until you have found God, so that He and NOT YOU, takes care of your life for you. That ultimate peace of knowing God is watching out for you, allows you to enjoy living here on earth to its fullest, as you are supposed to do. For instance, my happiness comes in being with and caring for my Grand children, taking them camping, to our high school football games, and backing my high school football team by sending them uplifting notes with Bible Verses - sharing my happiness! As the saying goes, you can't have your happiness and keep it to yourself. The more love and joy you give away, the more you will get in return.

Happiness is a state of being when there is not discord, and is accompanied by feelings of elation within one's soul over events, and people in one's life.

Happiness = K (knowing who you are) X D (discovering your life's work) X L (learning not to tolerate what's not important).

Accepting that which is good in our lives, to the smallest details and showing gratitude for them. Also, being of service to the planet.
