How happy are you in everyday life? Can you find happiness from the little things of evreyday life? We all want to be happy but the problem has always beenthat you can't measure happiness.Most of us knows when we're Unhappy, and we are aware of fleeting joyous moment of life. But the question is how happy you are in this life? sometimes it can be difficult to answer,some people says that its ok to pretend to make other people happy. but some people says you will never be happy if you were pretending. for me happiness is contentment in life, that we should be thankful for what we have. In a worls where the most negative issues just seem to have a greater impact on our lives on anyone else's, its very difficult to get past the reality and look deeper to recognize and acknowledge that we still have a lot to be thankful for.

I'm a very happy and very lucky person. I enjoy every second of my life. I've got my boyfriend, very good parents, excellent friends, and I'm also part of some band. I had awful childhood and I used to be depressive, but it all came back to me. I know that all good things come to an end, but I hope it will not happen soon.

Ha ha ha......nice question Ana, I wish there was some kind of machine that could measure our happiness, that could show our real happiness and virtual happiness...and I wish there was a kind of medicine that could increase your happiness like calcium tablets and omga 3........ In simple words I will say I am just OK........, you can consider this as "I am happy", or you can take it as "I am unhappy"...... as I really don't have right answer for this important question of yours..Have a nice day.

Hi ana, I am generally happy in my life or at least content. Of course there are bad times but that's life. The goal should be to do whatever to get over and beyond the negative and be back to being happy. I don't agree with whoever said that pretending to be happy will never make you happy. I have put on a happy face when I haven't been feeling all so happy. It attracts other happy people and sometimes before you know it you are smiling for real.

Its really hard to be happy sometimes especially whn humans' feelings are so easily affected by th surroundings .. I am always wanting to go back and experience childhood agn. It is reali th most enjoyable experience throughout my life. Nth to worry abt, easily to stay happy especialy w/ jus a toy beside mi .. But moods and feelingsare stil created by ourself . We are th creator of ourself. Therefore I hope everyone would be able to stay happy always no matter what happens , use a positive attitude to face it (:

its normal to anybody if sometimes she feels unhappy due to a lot of reasons, but happiness for me is being contented of what you have in life, and Im always happy if Im with my Family. But we know things wont give a long time feeling of happiness its not permanent. Happiness is if you have God in life and be thankful with Him. life is miserable without Him.

I can say I am okay, but not totally happy about life. Finding happiness in small things right now is a little difficult for me because I don't really think much about the small things. Maybe through time I will regret not treasuring the small things, but for now I think I will try my best to get a move on with life, and learn what reality truly is.

honestly ana I think happiness depends on what you think should make you happy, some people think if you have a big family you should happy, others its religion, material possessions, or accomplishing goals. Honestly its all about perception of what makes you happy.
