    Happiness for me=High download speed, lol. kidding. I'm not sure though but happiness for me is to get my tasks done and achieve my goals and be in a good place. I really want to be a capable person who takes very good care of himself and others.

    True happiness comes from having a true relationship with Jesus Christ. That's true peace that passes all understanding. The temporal things of the world can't satisfy. They can only satisfy for so long. Being with Jesus lasts eternity.

    Happiness is state of mind, and it fluctuates. Some people find happiness in simple things and other people are never happy. I don't believe in happy, but being content, and that makes me happy in a realistic manner. People always ask, 'What makes you happy?' and happiness comes from within, when you have all that you need and want, and that is rare.

    I believe, Happiness is winning sentiment or Reaction of achievement, success. Internally strong people use this emotion for winning, struggling people gets happy after winning.

    Happiness is a good cigar after a decent day's trading, safe in the knowledge that I can run a loss for the rest of the week but still be in profit over the month.

    Sadly, I'm rarely this happy.

    First of all, happiness must be found at an individual level. It's very important that people know this, because seeking happiness from a specific place rather than yourself will be counterproductive to the utmost extent. In other words, you won't find it at all, only temporarily in most of the cases.

    Have been wrestling with this myself. To me, right now, happiness means being great at my job, and doing the best work I can, and reaping the benefits of it. It means feeling a sense of inner confidence and peace, and it means fulfillment.

    Happiness is a state of mind. Its accepting what you have and being content with it, and just enjoying life. Happiness is when you dont envy what other people have, and love your life, even if it is not as prestigous or luxorious you once hoped it would be.

    I think happiness is something that can be found outside of ourselves, like maybe an individual wanting to be loved by another person. Or an individual wanting to belong to a group of people. Or an individual wanting to be happy by being successful in his career.

    But it can also mean finding happiness within you. Like having been divorced a couple of times and realising that love should begin within yourself. Or maybe being disappointed with the way your life turned out, but you don't realise that the way your life turned out is exactly where you should be.

    Happiness varies for different people. My happiness is my son. Someone else's happiness might be being alone. So I think happiness can be found both ways.

    This is exactly how I feel. You create your own happiness and you and you alone are in charge of your happiness. Others can't do it for you. Once you are content with yourself and your life, you will be happy.
