A very simple question that is hard to answer. One has to carefully assess ones life to be able to answer, what really makes us happy. Is it the material things we have? The people we are with? A combination? or an entirely different thing? so I ask you, what makes you happy?

Well I love my son, family and friends dearly. I am pretty happy loving them and being loved. I love my businesses and I am estactic about the difference they make in peoples lives everyday. And I'm so happy that financially I don't have to worry about day to day costs and that I have been afforded all of the material things that I could ever have dreamed of. I think I would have to say that a combination of family/friends, money/work and things would make me the pretty happy girl that I am! :)

When I know my kids are employed and happy, and there is harmony in my home, and I am making about seven projects, then I am completely happy. Add a warm dog sitting next to me on the sofa and it's heaven.

wow this is sppoky, there is an Indian doctor being interviews on TV about life and at this point he is being asked about being happy exactly the same time I saw your post, he is saying a lot of the time is actually genetic, some people look for the problem others see the positive, he says the answer is to be grateful,get the ego out of the way, live in the present and forget about the past and don't worry about the future...

What makes me happy? My kids...I could have nothing, not be in a relationship etc etc but with my kids by my side and how much we love and respect each other etc it'd be just fine.....They're my life...
