What brings you happiness in your life? Most of us would say that happiness means not only money,but also a lot more than that.However,everyone of us are still so busy with the purpose to gain enough money.We are too busy to catch up with the happiness in our life. This morning,I read an article about how we should treat our life,which reminded me of a lot.It said,life was just like a revolving door,and when it closed,it also opened.According to the passage,happiness comes from the process we chase our goals in our life. Do you have some ideas about the old topic?Share your wonderful thoughts!

happiness comes from the good things that happen in our life. if someone loves us, if we have a good job, if our family likes us. as long as we have love we can always be happy. even if are poor. sure we need money also to be happy or else we will always be worried with ways to support ourselves. but love is what can gives us a lot of happiness. i can say that bcs when im in love and are loved back i feel too happy ^^

Happiness is more than just anything that this world can offer us! Real happiness came from God alone. Just let God control your life and you will have the total happiness you will ever experience in life.

i think happiness depends on what you do and how you make it. you have to create happiness for yourself. not rely on others to provide it for you.

It all depend on how do you think about it.happiness means not only money,but love,blood ties,friends,health,and so on.someone may have amounts of money,but he did not feel happy coz he's a miser that his family and friens leaving him.on the contrary,someone didn't have enough money,but he content with his situation,in his mind,the family and the kids are most important than money!we'd rather to meet everything with usual mind

That is the last thing happiness is. Money Happiness cannot be traded for value. to be truthful you don't have to look far for happiness , as when you do ,you block it in its pure effluorescent glow . Read line 3 that is exactly written as so . people ask what is happiness , happiness is not a thing and thus people are totally skeptical about their own happiness. So when all that doubt manifests because it is not felt by the physical plane but from something out of this world . All other emotions are here to disrupt the happiness , through eventual contemplation happiness is all that ever was , and will be , it is the infinite source of energy creation . a word that is forever indescribable

Happiness only comes from ourselves. It is something we have to build inside, whether it be by convincing ourselves to have a happy outlook on life and everything within it or simply us telling ourselves how to make the right choices... Everything in life that has the potential to bring happiness is caused by ourselves. We chose the people to hang around with who can make us happy, we choose the person to love, we choose what to do with money and how to make it... The list goes on. I find that the more determined, confident people are the happiest.

i think it all comes from within. whatever situation we are in, we can always turn that around. i think we would be able feel happiness no matter what. its emotion, and emotions come from within us....

I think happiness comes from within and our attitude towards the world and the things in our lives. We can choose to be miserable or to be happy - in general I mean, as some unhappiness is unavoidable and a necessary part of character-building, but I believe happiness comes from what's all around us, such as nature, rather than money and the things it can buy.

Hi there! For me, happines is seen from different aspects.. We can find happines from friends, family and relatives and esp. to your special and loved one. There are also happines that comes from things, like money, cars, dresses, shoes, etc.. Happiness is everywhere. You can only see that if you know how to appreciate every single thing or feelings in this world. Good day!

Happiness comes when you have achieved something you aspire for in a way you had not expected.

Happiness is the best emotion that we can feel. Happiness came from our experiences in life, from people around us and from the people we love... You can feel happiness when you experiences good things in life and you have success in life... Attainment in life can make us happy, it is the satisfaction of our works... When we see the output of our work and it cause good to other we feel happy for that... Happiness also can we feel when we make some people happy.. When we helped someone, we feel happy for that because we know that we make someone happy... Also happiness we can feel from the people who love us at the same time we love them...when you feel that someone loves you and they so that they care for us...it can make us happy.. And above all, when we know God, we can feel the happiness on us.. We can feel that the greatest happiness we can feel is when we are with God.

my happiness would be based from happiness of my family, bf and his family. well, basically, yes, but i cannot say it is totally not money because i need money to survive and make them happy as well.

hi qianlizhifeng!! well even me too don't think that happiness means only money. And me think happiness means our true friends which are with us at all time. We can live happy only with the help of friends and relatives. We spent our more time with friends and i know all guys and girls spent there most time with there friends. Money is not mean happiness because who has money they never live happy even there is lot of problem in there mind. And the people who found true friend then i think they found all the money of the world because true friend can't found easily. And you are discussion is too good. Thanks for Posting it.
