what is true happiness?

Answer 1

realizing you've helped someone who needed it desperately =}

Answer 2

Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness.:)

True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Answer 3

True happiness comes from being able to appreciate the small joys in simple, everyday life: a friendly hello, shared smiles and laughter, light-hearted, interesting conversation, and simple mutually-pleasing togetherness are but a few examples of these joys.
Best wishes to all,

Jesus Christ is my reason for pursuing happiness. But even when you have a relationship with him everything isnt always grand and you are not always happy. I would know, i have been through a lot. But i still believe until i get to heaven, will i be truly happy. Until then, i just live my life according to him!

Answer 5

Our Heavenly Father desires that we find true, lasting happiness. Our happiness is the design of all the blessings He gives us—gospel teachings, commandments, priesthood ordinances, family relationships, prophets, temples, the beauties of creation, and even the opportunity to experience adversity. His plan for our salvation is often called "the great plan of happiness." He sent His Beloved Son to carry out the Atonement so we can be happy in this life and receive a fulness of joy in the eternities.

Testifying of God's "eternal purposes," a prophet taught, "Men are, that they might have joy." Many people try to find happiness and fulfillment in activities that are contrary to the Lord's commandments. Ignoring God's plan for them, they reject the only source of real happiness. They give in to the devil, who "seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." Eventually they learn the truth that: "Wickedness never was happiness."

Others seek only to have fun in life. With this as their main goal, they allow temporary pleasure to distract them from lasting happiness. They rob themselves of the enduring joys of spiritual growth, service, and hard work.

As we seek to be happy, we should remember that the only way to real happiness is to live the gospel. We will find peaceful, eternal happiness as we strive to keep the commandments, pray for strength, repent of our sins, participate in wholesome activities, and give meaningful service.
