To me, happiness doesn't have an absolute definition, It's a pertinent thing with regards to something that's currently happening to you. True happiness has nothing to do with material possessions and luxuries, because there are lots of people in the world today that aren't happy either wealthy or not. Although money answers almost all things in the world today but it can't buy true happiness, there will still be a space of dissatisfaction in an unhappy fellow even if the person has everything at his or her disposal.
Satisfaction and happiness goes hand in hand, though one might presently lack some basic things but there will be rest of mind that better days are ahead. I'm a lady that doesn't allow things to stress me at all, so I love to find happiness in little things that I do, that's why I don't do more than myself which is very helpful in keeping me always happy and active.
Hardly will you see me been sad, I'm always cheerful in expectant and also trusting life's processes. True happiness lays in my own satisfaction, I might not be where I dream to be but I'm happy I'm not where I use to be. So, I find happiness in whatsoever I'm doing and in what I've achieved so far but still, I quite understand that there are some things which are essential to live a happy life
Firstly, Mental stability. The mental health controls the mind and if the mind is unsettled definitely the whole body is in danger and that unstable fellow becomes a burden. So it is very crucial for one to take good care of ones mental health cause in it lays everything one desires most especially peace of mind that brings true happiness. If a fellow is mentally sick, happiness is far away from the fellow and his or her family. While a mentally stable individual is strong enough to manage whatsoever challenges of life that might come so as to live healthy.
Secondly, money is very important in living a happy life. I believe no one is ever happy looking unkept and also hungry but what lots of people lacks is contentment, they aren't satisfy with their little earnings that's why they becomes slaves of money. I'm not saying been rich is bad, Oh NO!.... but making money the sole controller of ones emotions is bad.
For instance, some people are known by how lively they are based on whether they have money to spend or not, once they are in need their mood swings back to been moody which isn't suppose to be. I agree that money can't buy true happiness but little is required to stay alive and be happy with oneself and also help to put smiles on other people's face.
In conclusion, life is filled with both ups and downs, sometimes there might be sad moments in your life but once you understand that life is of two phases, then any sad moments you encounter can be overcome by your cheerful/happy lifestyle. I currently have a stable Mental ability which I'm happy about so I'm hopeful other things would fall in place cause my happiness isn't tagged on a thing but it lays in myself.
