Im interested to know what makes people happy in this current society?
What makes me happy is being able to do what I want and not answer to anyone so I guess having freedom.Apart from that its knowing that the people I care about are ok that would be my mum and my partner.
But what makes me my happiest is being with my partner and that will always make me the happiest I can be.

Every time I wake up in the morning, seeing my wife's face is one of the happiest moments in my life. Getting up and preparing breakfast for them and seeing my kids smile as they eat breakfast, simple conversation about their plans for the day are some of the simple things that makes me happy. Saying I love you as we go to our day's activities, hearing their voices over the phone and knowing that their okay are things that lift up my spirits. I should say, every little things that I've done for my family are the treasures of my life.

The things in my life that makes me happy having my hubby in my life. I also love having the freedom to do what I want each and everyday. Not having get up early to go to work and have to answer to a boss. I have been blessed by being able to have an early retirement at the age of 52. What also makes me happy is skyping with my precious grandkids who live far away. I also love to plant different veggies and fruits in my yard that I can later eat, such as avocados, mangos and green peppers etc....! These are a few of the things that makes me extremely happy in my life today.

Honestly, I have to say that the things that make me happy with my life and my situation are things that are very simple. The greatest pleasure in my life is my two children because they bring something into my life each and every day that really makes me smile.
Spending time with my friends is something that also makes me happy.
Finally, I really love going through my pictures and organizing those into scrapbook pages so that my children will be able to learn more about the early part of their lives.

I'm also at my happiest whenever I'm with my husband, spending time together and doing things to make our dreams a reality. I like the fact that we are well enough to work on our plans and build our lives together as a married couple. It's fun, it's liberating and it's challenging.

Hi there chillpill90,
It seems that you are a very happy person and thats great!! What makes me happy is a clean house, my children laughing, getting nice loving hugs from my husband, and my pets and how sweet they are. I also am happy that I am taking time off work so that I can lessen my stress level so that I can be more involved with my children during field trips and helping out in their classes.

Hello my friend chillpill90 Ji,
Well, for me to get happiness, it can be very smallthing, it can be equally big. I wait for my bus and bus comes in time, it is a very big happiness for me. My point is if I get satisfaction, it is time to celebrate. It can be partner, it can be unknown starnger. One day, while at Rly station, someone helped me to get water from the tap, I was very happy anf thanked that person. There are no laid down yard stick for my happiness.
May God bless You and have a great time

Thing that make my life happy are one doing things that I really love to do like doing an artwork and finish it even it takes me a long period of time. It's like all my hard work pay off when I finish my artwork even though it took me months to finish. It makes me happy when I'm with my family even though sometimes my father will get mad at me when I did something wrong. My partner also makes me happy when we are together, while we are sharing stories and more.

Wow! Sounds nice for you over there in CANDY LAND, where you wake up sliding down a rainbow to have a bowl of sunshine for breakfast ...
Here in the real world, our happiness is similar (but we understand it more-deeply). We are happy because our life-partners (husbands' wives, wives' husbands, their children, etc.) depend upon our happiness ... our happiness gives them a reason to live, as we live for their happiness.

Books on my choicest topic,proximity of jungle,my wife and kids- these are that make me happy.I have been a book lover since my childhood.I am interested in wildlife and jungles.Proximity of jungle and wild animals makes me ecstatic.And I want to enjoy all these with my wife and our kids.If I ever have all these in my life at my home,then I would live a very happy life for more than one hundred years.

Small things would be my simple answer to this question. I have learnt this that some really small foolish things can make your day which even a huge sum of money cannot. You just need to be happy from within to make your day further good and bring further more happiness in your life.

The flowers,the brooks, the mountains
A song on my friends lip.
When I am in touch with my maker.
When I can help somebody spontaneously.
When I see the happiness of a child.
when I can forgive and forget somebody who has hurt me without any condition,
When I see the chirping birds and flower buds blooming,
When I can love my neighbor as I love myself,
When I can share the goodness of earth with everybody,
When my children are happy and healthy,
When I gratefully thank my maker for all his mercies he has shown me irrespective of the fact,whether I am entitled or not.
These are the major things that makes me happy.

Emotions are natural like a passing weather. But of course, when I get what I want, I will be happy, because I will make it happen.

The thing in my life that makes me the most happy would have to be my children. You see, they are at the age that they really both still like to spend time with me and that is something that I really value.
In addition to that, knowing that I have a family and friends that genuinely care about me is also something that makes me very happy because there are so many people that don't even have that in their lives.

Knowing that the people i love the most are in good health and totally okay makes my day. I am happy whenever they are happy. The sound of the crisp laughter coming from my daughter in the morning energize me. The hug she gives after a days work keeps my stress away.

There're many things which can make me happy. When i go to travel with my friend, i feel happy and free. When have a delicious meal, i will be happy. When some lucky things fall on me, god, i would be happy more than other things. What's more, a surprise is also good. Actually now i just want to stay my way and seize everything i can hold. Life is full of various sadness and happiness. So the most important thing is keep graceful, in this way, you will feel happy every day and satisfy the life now.

Hi chillpill90, There are many things in my life that make me happy. Having a roof over my head and food on my table makes me happy and thankful. Having a job job that I enjoy makes me happy. Having a wonderful family and a wonderful man in my life that loves me makes me happy. Being able to accomplish my goals makes me happy. Being able to go outside in my yard and watch all my flowers grow makes me happy. Knowing that God loves me and guides me everyday of my life makes me happy. I don't have lots of nice things or lots of money however I don't need those things to be happy. I am just greatful for the things I do have.
