Hi everyone How are you doing? I will like to ask one question which is short and sweet?. Are you happy? If yes What makes you happy?
What is it that makes you happy?
If you are unhappy what makes you feeling unhappy.
Do you try to rectify the problems which makes you unhappy?.

Of course I'm happy because I'm with my family

A deep question. Short answer: yes and no. I'm happy when I'm productive, doing things I love, surrounded by people I love. I'm happy when I'm free.
Unhappy : feeling worried, powerless, etc.

@Mahaev That is beautiful advice. :-) Sometimes the problem is in that there are toxic people in one's family

Right now I am very happy. I have spent the past four days working at my favorite job, designing and making teddy bears. I am a teddy bear artist and have been one for the past 40+ years and will continue to make teddy bears as long as my hands hold up.
I started making them back in 1985 when I moved in with my mother after I was fired from my job after I was injured on the job. I was bored out of my mind not working and soon found a pattern for a teddy bear and made it. I wasn't happy with the pattern so I designed my own. I liked the way that one turned out and made a couple for sale and sold them right away. That got everything rolling. I entered my teddy bears in various contests including the local county fairs and was winning awards like crazy, including best of show and judges awards. I won over 200 awards including 20 Best of Shows and Judges Awards.
What makes me unhappy is not being able to make teddy bears. I now make miniature bears that I can carry with me and sew them by hand. That way I am always busy and productive. I have about 20 miniature bears to joint and stuff, but they have to wait for awhile until I get a few more larger bears ready to joint and stuff and put into the shop.
As long as I am busy working I'm happy. If I can't be busy I'm not happy. Once I get busy again I'm happy again.

@Mahaev Thank you! I try to keep happy, and it's hard to not be happy when you have such a fun job as I do. I currently have a new bear to design. It's name will be Randall for one of my neighbors who has been so wonderful and helpful over the years. It's hard not to be happy in what I'm doing when I have a job that brings joy to others.
Yesterday a mother and her daughter came into the shop that I have my bears in. They were looking for something for the little girl for her to display her small bears in. While her mother was paying for the item I asked the girl if she had been good, she said "Yes" and I asked if she would follow me. The girl asked her mother and the mother looked at the shop owner. The shop owner told the mother that I was okay and the mother said it was okay to the little girl.
Off we went back to where my bears were. When we got there I pointed out the acrylic bears and told the little girl to pick out a bear as a present for being so good. She squealed with delight and started looking over the bears. About then her mother called out wanting to know where her daughter was. Her daughter answered "Back here in with the teddy bears". Her mother came around the corner and her daughter told her about my giving her a teddy bear and how hard it was for her to pick out one. Together they picked out a bear that was a black and white cow print acrylic fur and they were both thrilled with the bear. The mother couldn't believe that I was giving away a bear. I told her that giving away a bear was part of the fun of my making teddy bears. I promised myself that I wouldn't make teddy bears just for the money, that it was also the fun of seeing the joy on the person's face when I gave them a teddy bear.
Yes, I am very happy in what I am doing. It helps me deal with my intense pain each and every day. It makes me happy seeing the joy I bring to others with my art work, which is even more important than money. Happiness comes to me in many different forms, from giving a few dollars to the homeless, to feeding hungry animals, to having a happy heart. As it has been said through many centuries, you are only as happy or sad as you allow yourself to be.

That is really amazing. You are so creative and talented as well as i like your dedication. Not only that you love your job (to make teddy), you love your passion. You are the perfect example of entrepreneurship. You are happy in your life that is really awesome. I found many people feeling stress doing there job. But you are the person with quality life and real smile.

Happiness is something which you have to work for. If one is feeling down, they must try to pull through and be happy. Sometimes people need life motivators while others can do so by themselves.

In my way happiness is my confidence if I confident for something for someone It means I am happy and if I'm not satisfied with someone it's make me uneasy ,uncomfort and it bring unhappiness for me. So expectations from others should be less.

Yes i am very much happy. And it is all because of my family and most specially my kids. Kelly and Klyde. I love them so much that by just looking at them I can see and feel myself smilling. I am so blessed.
