Great point John and excellent examples, but I have to argue some of those are merely acts of happiness as well, not genuine happiness. However, you said it best when you wrote happiness is a mindset of being at peace within yourself and staying at peace in all situations you face. I couldn’t agree more… Thanks for the great addition!

happiness
everyone wants it, but only a few really are Happy within themselves.
a person could always be smiling but within themselves not be Happy. Fake smiling does not lead to guinine happiness
Money does not bring happiness. having the latest fashions, or electronics will not make you happy
Happiness is a mindset. Its truly being at peace within yourself. Its a mind state that any negative situation that you encounter will really not bother you. Its the point in your life where you feel calm and relaxed within yourself.
Some conditions that lead to true happiness are
:Giving to others either thru your volunteer labor, or financially
ushing yourself either physically or emotionally.
(meeting new people, going for a long run, lifting weights)
:learning a new skill, either for a new career or as a hobby
:Repeating incantations in your mind. saying to yourself that you are happy and confident
:going on vacation, to temporarily change your environment
:playing with your kids, spending time with the people you love and care for
:taking a long walk with someone you love and care for
:appreciating the simple things in life, flowers, a robin, the clouds in the sky, the rain drops falling from the sky
:choosing everyday to put a smile on your face, and making the choice that you will be happy
:visualizing your future goals, where you would like to be in say 5, 10, or 20 years
:listening to music, and dancing
:watching a funny show
:waking up early on a weekend, to read a good book.
:having faith in something higher than yourself
:watching self help DVD’s or listening to self help CD’s
:kissing your significant other
:meditating, yoga

these are just a few of many elements that lead to true guinine happiness. A person having a smile, sometimes can be misleading. A person with a poker face, or a serious face, can be truly HAPPY

God Bless

Hi,
Interesting thoughts. I completely agree. However I think,

happiness is still a tricky word. I had a shot at trying to define it

in a more “scientific” or “objective” way, despite it being a

subjective feeeling: What is happiness?
I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you, Nick

Guildford, I’m not sure I understand you. Did the someone become happy because of the money or not? Were they happy already before they had it? I’ve never heard any stories where money itself is what really made people happy. Its always been what they do with it for others that seems to leave an impact of happiness.

Nice article about hapinness. I was just wondering some one in my counrty got the loto at Rs 30 million, about USD10 MIILION. They should be very happy indeed as they were with very modest income. Money is something that make people happy.

When all is said and done, it’s up to each of us to make the decision to be happy and then follow through. The rest will unfold as long as you stick to your new focus.

Great article Mike!

Happiness is indeed internal and doesn’t need to be found. This is something I need to remember as I work through my goals for 2009.

It is true that happiness is actually within ourselves. We should have the positive mindset in whatever situation.
After reading this article, I know exactly that happiness is not because of lots of money or luxury.
