for me the meaning of simple happiness. Real happiness is when we feel enough with what we have. Sometimes what blocks our happiness is ourselves. The unrealistic standards we set in life, for example: standards of wealth and success. I think true happiness can be found in simple moments. Like when we wake up in the morning, we can still breathe and see the sunrise. Sit down to eat together or chat with family and friends. Went to watch a lively concert with friends. Enjoying the beautiful way home in the afternoon after a day of activities. And there are many other simple things that we may not realize. Maybe now we feel normal. But one day these moments will become memories that we will be grateful for in the future. how about you, what does happiness mean to you?

Very beautifully expressed. My thoughts are exactly the same as well. Happiness can be sensed even in the simplest of things. We should feel & be grateful for all that we have been already blessed with. It will pave way for further blessings. That's what I believe!

you are right, being grateful can make us happy, because everyone has their own capacity. I think if we compare ourselves to other people, it will only make us more depressed and unhappy

I have never looked for happiness. If I found it in anything outside of me, I would be afraid that I might lose it again. I prefer to just love, life, and God, and let happiness bubble up in me by itself, from my adopting such a loving position in life. Real happiness is inbuilt, not something that can be found outside of us, in some job, or possession. Happiness of the heart comes from living from the love in it, our heart, and such happiness is an attribute of full loving

I definitely believe that happiness is the moment when we enjoy the little things. And that's how I personally feel. I feel happy when I look at my children's smile, when I hear birds singing or see a beautiful view.

Happiness means to be balance and peace in mental and emotional. Physical will follow after.
