Do you ever try to think of what happiness is? We all want to be happy in life; it is our goal. It is important to understand what makes you happy and then work on achieving that state.
For me, happiness is a state of the mind. Now what does that mean?
Your mind is always in thoughts about past events or future plans; it is hardly totally in the present moment. You have to realize that the past is gone and the future is not in your hands so you end up wasting your time in thoughts that take you back and forth, and you end up missing "Living" in the present moment.
If you can try to clear your thoughts and just be aware of your present moment with all your senses and without any thoughts of the past or future, you will experience a state of mind that touches your inner being.
This feeling is what happiness is.
