Most people say happiness is when one possess three things....financial freedom,time freedom, and health freedom.Yes its true we need all these three conditions in order to be happy.If we have money and time but no good health...we are not happy...if we have time and good health yet no money..we aren't happy...nor if we have money and good health but no time to enjoy life. For me there is one more element, the fourth one to be real happy...that is spiritual freedom.

i think it's to know our selvse for real, the flaws and qualities, that way we are free cause there are no mysteries and insecurities, to grow, to learn new things, to be satisfied with our life so when it's not good to leave it, to be a giving person, those who only care about receiving and taking are very unhappy and jealous, to be happy for other people's success, to be humble... i think this is it

I would think God, family and friends. These are the things that have brought the most happiness to my life.

Now me personally I do not believe that someone has to have money or good health or alot of time in order to be happy. For one whether or not you have money it brings problems and therefore brings unhappiness. Regardless of good or bad health same thing. Like wise with time. I think happiness is in all in what makes the person feel good about themselves. For if you don't feel good about your self, and you don't do things that make you feel happy or good about your self then you will never be happy.

Dear Jessrm91556 : My friend ,I am quite in agreement with your idea and spiritual freedom can be seen as another but might be the most importent source of happiness for one's life . Becasue of such a freedome and the substantial happiness always go hand in hand ,isn't that what we are shooting for for a life time? Of course yes ! Financial freedom is necessary but it is enough when they can meet the basic needs of daily living . Strong desire to pursue such a freedom will be sure to bring troubles rather than more freedom . Health and time freedom is also very indispensable for everyone's life ,I am inclined to believe that both of them would be fine if you are healthy spiritually .
