What is happiness?

Everyone has their own definition, Some might say happiness is...

...finding a way to make your passion your career

...laughing until your stomach hurts

...living each day like it's your last

...being unapologetically you

But for me, happiness is all about feeling good. It could be a good day at work, spending time with my family or simply taking a break to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. No matter what it is, as long as I’m feeling good, I’m happy.

I believe that happiness is something that everyone deserves. It is a state of mind that is characterized by positive emotions, such as joy, satisfaction, pleasure, and enthusiasm.

It is the experience of a good mood and positive emotions over a sustained period of time.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of what makes people happy. For some, it might be spending time with family and friends, for others it might be traveling or taking up a new hobby. But whatever it is that makes you happy, it's important to make sure you find time for it in your busy life.

Everyone wants to be happy and while there are many things that can bring happiness, there are a few key things that are essential. Those things are:

1. A sense of control over your life - You need to feel like you're in charge of your destiny and that you can make things happen. This means having goals and working towards them, being proactive instead of reactive, and feeling like you're doing something with your life.

2. A sense of belonging - You need to feel like you're part of something bigger than yourself. This could be a family, a group of friends, a community, or anything else that gives you a sense of connection.

Happiness is a choice we make. It's a decision to be positive, to look for the good in every situation, and to find ways to be happy, no matter what life throws our way. It's a decision to stay focused on our goals, and to keep moving forward, even when we don't feel like it. Happiness is a mindset, a way of living our life that brings us joy and satisfaction.

Happiness is a choice, and I choose to be happy.

Every day, I work to be the best version of myself. I surround myself with positive people and positive vibes. I refuse to let the negative things in life bring me down.

I know that happiness is an inside job, and I am in control of my own happiness. I choose to be happy, and that makes me happy.

Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy, even when things are tough. I know this because I’ve been through some tough times, and I’m still here, happy and motivated.

And it's something that we can all learn to cultivate, no matter what our circumstances might be.

The best way to find happiness is to focus on the things that make us happy. We need to find ways to bring more joy into our lives, and to focus on the positive things, even when things are tough.

When we're happy, we're more productive, we're more creative, and we're better able to deal with stress and adversity. So, the next time you're feeling down, remember that happiness is always an option.

Closing thought;

There's no one-size-fits-all answer to happiness, but there are some things that are universally true. For example, we all need to feel loved and appreciated, we need to feel like we're making a contribution, and we need to feel like we're in control of our lives.

Happiness is also relative; what makes one person happy might not make another person happy. Some people find happiness in simple things, like spending time with their families or taking a walk in the park. Others find happiness in more challenging pursuits, like climbing mountains or starting their own business.

The important thing is that you find what makes you happy and do your best to cultivate that in your life. If you're not sure where to start, try looking for advice from people who have found happiness in their lives.
