WHAT IS HAPPINESS ? WHERE CAN WE FIND IT?

WHAT IS HAPPINESS AND WHERE CAN WE FIND IT?

For two decades, a group of researchers worldwide have been pursuing a systematic study of happiness. Their finding according to the magazine Scientific American:

"Happiness does not appear to depend significantly on external circumstances". This means that happiness is not measured by the quantity of our wealth or associations rather it is seen by the quality of our life as an individual.

What is Happiness?

I've heard and read many definitions of happiness. However, in my opinion, happiness is the satisfaction and appreciation one derives from his or her life at the moment.

Where Can We Find Happiness?

The answer is simple: Happiness is hidden and wrapped up in a commonly used word; CONTENTMENT, finding contentment and peace in whatever you love doing, and the persons that cheer you every step as you move is where your happiness lies.

We can't get everything on Earth, we can't get everyone to love us, and we certainly cannot make everything happen in our favor. However, we can choose how we react to these situations, we can choose the persons we let into our lives and we can let go of any sort of bitterness, envy, contemptuousness, and strife.

That is Happiness.
