Different things can make you happy but the happiness can't be sustained. Shopping will only give you that pleasant feeling while the purchase is new because you desired it you desired the concept of it and how it would improve your life. Once it is acquired you realise it's just like everything else.
Love will make you happy while it lasts. It will probably fizzle and become a complacent run of the mill marriage or it will be taken away from you and turn you into a crying mess. Being healthy should make us happy but sadly most of us don't appreciate it.
You are only happy when you are improving yourself. That is why we live after all. Knowledge must be the key to happiness. Well ... that and chocoalate.

I don't think many people are happy all the time.
The times I AM happy are when I feel useful, when I feel I've had a good productive day at work (teaching), when I'm reading a good book, or having a good conversation with someone.
Sometimes the occasions when I'm expected to feel 'happy' turn out to be not so happy! Eg. parties, or family gatherings...sometimes turn out to be disappointing. I'm also happy when I've helped someone solve a problem.

I'm happy because I plan to go to Tiffany's today and buy something.
Basically I'm happy because I know that life is finite, and we don't know when it will end. I cannot focus on anything but my personal happiness and the happiness of others because there just isn't time for me to focus on the things that make me sad. My goal is to leave the world just a little bit better than it was when I got here, and my way of doing that is by making people happy. I like to work on community service projects, talk to lonely people, hug my mom, you know it's the little things that make us happy.

Because I have decided to be. I have had one of those lifetimes, abusive , crazy mom, you know the kind you only read about happening to other people. For years I was angry & depressed. Then I realized she was not around any more & the only person all that unhappiness hurt was me. I felt like it was my right to be "damaged" & it was my way of letting the word see just how badly they had damaged me. Then, I got tired of hurting, took responsibility for my now & made a choice. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.

Neither happy nor sad.
Riding the wave of happiness
they fall one day
and rise again
to fall down again.
Never learning.
That what goes up
comes down too.
Coming closer to death
there is no time to repent
as the time given
has all been spent.
The happiness of youth
becomes torment when old
Remorse , is all that is left.
That is what all remains
for everyone.

Because I'm a kid I have my whole life ahead of me i have safety and security I have people who are responsible for me I have family and friends who love me i have people who think i'm amazing and i think they're amazing too, I'm happy because i'm still at the simple stage of thinking where i dont tend to worry about very much at all, im warm, i'm content, im vaguely full, i'm listening to happy music, i love everyone and everything im supposedly a moody teen! hah. I get giddy LOADS hugs make me happy i get loads of those every day because girls need to be touched at least 20 times a day in a nonsexual way to feel good about themselves!
I like kisses I like being in love, that makes me happy! The fact i'm 14 in two weeks and six days is making me happy, dancing around is keeping me happy, knowing such NICE people keeps me happy, taking photos makes me happy! being a vain moron makes me happy, knowing that im my own person makes me happy, knowing that i dont care what u think about me makes me happy!
And smelling nice makes me happy.
Hahahaha (:

Because there's nothing to be happy about and the world's going to Hell, but I'm sitting here drinking Dr Pepper and listening to the Beatles and about to go be with some of the best people there are. I'm one lucky jerk.
