What does it take to be happy in life? Wealth? Love? Inner peace? or?...

I consider that the 'content' is the only thing that makes the life happy.
Knowing how much is really enough and not comparing us with others will go a long way in making our life more happier.And the most important thing is knowing that happiness is withing you and you don't have to search for it.

i think happiness is kind of reletive.. one person will be happy with 10 million dollars.. but one wont.. it depends on the way person is thinking.. but i belive to be fully happy you should have a balnace life.. it means some Wealth, some Love and some Inner peace and other stuff shuld be there.. combined together..

inner peace makes people happy and content, money can be the route of all evils at times, but if someone is happy and content and at peace i think they would have a much happier life, love has alot to do with it, but inner peace is the key

Wealth can actually make you more miserable, because you have more worries about the safety of your possesions and other things. One thing that would make you happy in life is when you don't hold a grudge against anyone whosoever and to be honest in evrything you say -or do. Helping your fellow man would also make you happier when you see the results.

I dont know what it takes to be happy but I do have a theory that if a person is generally a happy person I think that it probably wont take much to make them happy, but if a person is generally a unhappy then it wont matter what material things or other factors that person has in there life they will be unhappy no matter what.

I'm a generally happy person give or take a few issues, and I have had my share of ups and really big downs believe me, but to spite that I still managed to smile through it all and be pretty happy and fun person, so to answer your question it really just depends on the person and how adaptable they are and what they want expect out of life.

TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN.

..Hi there kiran8, I think that each person, as an individual has to decide what happiness means to them. From there, you set out to get as close to your definition of happiness, as you can. I also think that we are born with certain genetic tendencies, which tend to make us possibly content with less or strive for more. But within us all, I feel, there is a barometer that says, "I am happy", or not. That is what most people pay attention to, unless they are running around clamoring after a lot of tangible things, which they think will make them happy, only to find out when they have those things, that it is internal not external things that affect how happy most of us are. So my thought, the more content you are with less, the less stress you will have and the happier you will be in the long run. Take care, be happy.

kiran to be happy is to think of today only as yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not yet here. all you have is today, so be happy today and thank God for all you do have, not for all you do not have,and make up your mind you will be happy today. As old Abe Lincoln himself said,men are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.Nobody can make you happy,you have to do that for yourself.

Hi Kiran, people find happiness in different forms, may not be the same for everyone. But I can say one thing, that's common to everyone- The biggest happiness anyone would expect is not being SAD. May be to achieve that happiness, people go behind several things and it's then when someone goes behind happiness though he is not sad, it's called greed!

I can summarize being happy into three things.

First Satisfaction, every people or person who are satisfied is happy but not all the time if they lack the other two.

Second Contentment, one must be contented to what he/she has. Satisfaction plus contentment is a good way to be happy but it wouldn't be complete without the last one.

The last one would be Peace of mind.

hi,in my view,everyone of us wants happiness,but seldom of us can own it,that is why?just from my perspective,our attitude towards to life is the important,our expection to life wiil decide our happiness to life,many unrealistic ideas will stop us moving ahead or staying here,our aim should be more real and nature,not too big or small,as long as we achieve our goal we will be happy .
