Happiness !!

Happiness is the mental and emotional state having positive emotions including joy, pride, satisfaction and respect. Happiness also refer to anything that can bring a smile to someone's face. It is not measurable, profitable nor tradable. People want to have happiness, and want to know they have lot of it. But happiness, like air or water, it is hard thing to garb in one's hand. It is intangible. 

Happiness in not measured by any instrument. The things that such as having new bike or phone, a big house or gift does not equate to joyful feeling. They are only status, symbols that make others assume a person is happy, but they do not guarantee a happy life. The phrase, "money can't buy happiness," heard often because it is true. People who are rich in wealth can be unhappy, likewise poor can be living a happy life. 

So happiness can't be achieved by things but there is other factor that lead to the 'Happiness'. People need to have a sense of purpose. The person who is having a sense of purpose in their life often have a feeling of satisfaction about them. They sense they were put on this planet for a reason. To each person the purpose can be different. Maybe they were meant to teach. Maybe they were meant to create. Maybe they were meant to learn. And goals can be small things, like taking a extra moment each day to breadth. But having progress in life, a feeling of forward, can make people feel happy. 

But taking that progress too far can be a bad thing. Success at the expense of everything else leads to the opposite of happiness. Life required balance. And people that understand there is a balance between work and play, happy and sad, are more close to the universe and therefore, better able to achieve happiness. Life with a sense of humor is more pleasant. Comedians, compared to any other profession, live the longest because they understand that laughter adds the spice to life and makes daily progress worth. 

So people can be happy if they have something to make great efforts to achieve and something to laugh about. After all, the conclusion to happiness is the decision to actually be happy. Human nature can see negative energy anywhere. People can give a problems instead of solutions. So at the end of the day, "happiness depends upon ourselves."(Aristotle). As Lincoln said,"Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to to be." 

Being happy with who you are and what you have, is a decision that has to be made. Goals and success can help lead to happiness. Finding laughter in life is important. But at the end of the day, a person needs to make a choice about happiness. They need to agree they want it, deserve it and have it.
