It's possible we have different definitions of happiness or have different things that makes us happy and vice versa.
For me I'll say, true happiness is the emotion or state of being joyous and definitely the things that will make me happy are things that are essential to human well being.
I'll be sharing with us the things I need for true happiness.
Life and good health
Being alive is the one of the best thing that can ever happen to someone, just as the saying "If there's life, there's hope." Anytime I wake up in the morning, I thank God for life, it's a thing of joy because it's another day with a new hope. It's only the living that can be thinking of achieving purpose on earth, the dead can't do that, the privilege of being alive is a great opportunity.
Moreso, when we have life, we should also pray to have good health to enjoy it. There's are hundreds and thousands of people that are alive yet they're not happy, reason being that they don't have good health.
How can someone that his living on life support be happy, or someone that's in coma be joyful or someone that can't move from one place to another but only restricted to stay one place because of a particular illness.
If people like this now received healing, surely they will be happy and might even do anything to appreciate that person that made them whole again.
It's so true that people that are enjoying good health don't really know the worth compared to someone that's in pains, on the sick bed looking unto God for healing. Seeing that I have good health is another major source of happiness for me and I hope I'll forever enjoy that grace.
Seeing that my family and friends are doing well...
It's another source of joy for me, with this I'll have peace of mind and can even enjoy life the way I ought to.
God forbid a family member or close friend is so sick or in a terrible situation, there is no way happiness will come, you might even be the one running helter skelter so the person or people involved can be okay.
Who dare rejoice or throw a party when his/her parent or loved ones are on the sick bed, I don't think a sane person will do such thing. But when all that concerns us are doing well, we will have peace of mind which is another important factor that generate happiness.
Money
Whether we like it or not, there's no way we can do without money. Imagine you have all that you need at your disposal, you can easily get things done no matter the amount it will cost you, you can travel the world whenever you feel like, you can help as many people as you like and anytime you feel like... how won't this abilities bring happiness.
They said money can't buy happiness but I'm think it can buy you those things that will make you happy, the things you need to be happy. It can't buy you sleep but can buy you a good house with a good foam for you to have a good sleep.
Money is very important, anyone that says otherwise I think the person is actually joking. Because it's needed to get alot of things done, and without it those things will not be possible.
In all your getting, try and get money oo it's very important lols.
Prosperity / Being able to achieve my dreams
Virtually everyone has dreams, goals and aspirations... when we see ourselves getting these things done will definitely give birth to a high level of happiness in us. But when someone is trying to get somethings done and unable to do them, it might result to sadness. Prosperity will also surely give me happiness, it's a joyful thing seeing that all what you do is prosperous.
Although I don't have all this things mentioned hundred percent but I'm hoping on God that everything will fall in place in due time.
