For you personally, for others ...

Happiness, according to the psychology texts I have read, is a basic emotion that you are born with. Its arousal depends on your perceptions of your own and others well being. In my personal experience there are just three things that are absolutely essential for happiness. They are:
!. Knowing for a certainty that you are unconditionally loved by at least one other and having at least one other that you love unconditionally in turn. (The bond between a mother and babe is your first experience of this.)
2. Being completely satisfied with what you have as long as those possessions are sufficient to meet your survival needs.
3. Having something challenging to do with your body and mind that can be accomplished so that its completion gratifies you and others.
The last of these is the hardest to obtain. Good luck in your pursuit of happiness, good health, peace and love!.

no count what we've we heavily isn't happy. the key is to no longer locate love, be smarter, or be skinnier. I actual have found out that the actual key is Antidepressant drugs. Ha ha...i'm merely kidding. the key is merely say to your self "i'm happy" and merely permit your recommendations carry on with. It sounds so cheesy and that i on no account used to have self belief it whilst my husband instructed me that. sooner or later, i exchange into merely so overwhelmed and under pressure, and that i exchange into merely like "Screw it, i'm happy even with this". It worked.

retardation, as there is a correlation between intelligence and happiness. The more a person realizes how crappy their life (environment, society, and future) is, the more unhappy they become. where as the retarded person would never realize how bad he has it, and would slave away all day for minimum wage or less with a big fat smile, as corporate crooks rape his dumb ***.
so the secret to happiness, is pure ignorance. as ignorance is bliss.

Not wanting it. The desire for happiness leads to all sorts of difficulties in life. Happiness will come and go day to day. Happiness is like any other addiction.

Forgetting self!
Our happy moments invariably make us forget ourselves and that seems to be the secret route as well to Happiness.

A wise man once told me this. I'll make it simple but for me it is worth a thousand words. Happiness is a Choice
