Hello ajithlal. There is nothing special for me to stay happy. I am a happy person. I think that it is very important to have a positive attitude towards life and work, which makes life easier. If we are positive, we will enjoy more of life and will be happy as always. This is what I think. I have some negative colleagues and they won't seem to be happy with their negative thoughts about people and things. I have no idea what you think about it. Have a good time, my dear friend.

I also agree that when we are good to others we will feel happy and when we hurt others we might feel guilty and sad.

Secret of being happy is being satisfied with oneself.Helping others is another way of being happy.

The secret of happiness is simply to give more and take less. Enjoy life without expectations for more. Detached yourself from everything that the world gives to you. Use and give whatever Gods given to you but never keep it for yourself. Happiness is a choice and not a chance. So you can be happy every day!

i have no secret formula for staying happy. i just do my daily responsibilities without stepping on other people's toes. we must learn to be contented with what we have and not compare ourselves with others. above all, live in God and pray hard.

I also think we must take our responsibilities in life. I have learned to take responsibilities now. I also think that when we get close to God we will become happy and feel peace in life.

I wish I knew the answer to that question. I have been so moody & miserable the past 6 months. I don't know what happiness feels like lately. My Dr wants to put me on Happy Pills, but I am reluctant to give them a try. I have everything to be happy about, a teenage daughter who is grateful, a husband losing weight and is regaining his libido, steady employment, reliable car, enough money that we can pay our bills, ect..... the list goes on & on. Why can't I be happy?

I really do not think there is an actual secret to it. I think it has to start from within though. You have to be happy within yourself to actually be able to be happy with anything else in life.

I think the quote from the movie One True Thing sums it up very nicely: "It's so much easier to be happy. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is that you're imagining you're missing. It is so much more peaceful." - Kate Gulden played by Meryl Streep

I think life is about choices and we can chose to be happy or we can chose to be sad in our life. I think if we make right choices we will be happy in our lives.

Happiness comes from within. Be a good person, treat others as you would be treated, be kind, reach out to someone in need, love yourself, take a walk and appreciate the often unseen beauty around you. Smile, laugh and dance like no one is watching!!!!! Just a thought!

Happiness has so many meanings to everyone and it is dealt by actions.It can't be bought by money.When someone nailed success,she felt happiness within.On the one hand,staying happy all the time makes a person young too,so my advice: shun away from stress and tension.Another thing,the secret of being always happy is be contented with whatever you have,learn to appreciate every single thing in your life,avoid worrying over the bad memories.Instead move on,do productive things and face the world with smile.Doing good deeds to others are quite rewarding also.
