What make you happy ?Are you the type of person who can be happy easily? What is your happiest experience ever? Do you have any ways to make yourself happy ?? 'Scientists say that happy people are going to live longer, it is good for health if you smile 10 times a day, may be we have to learn how to live happily from now on.'

I find that simple things make me happy. Like at the moment I'm watching my girls do lovely ballet dancing to the music I have playing and they are making me happy. I am also happy because my daughter did some lovely reading for me earlier. I also love to see the sunshine, and the trees. I don't think I can inpoint one moment as my happiest ever as I have had so many. When I want to feel happy I think about my beautiful daughters.

happiness is a choice. if you chose to be one, you can be. Being happy doesn't require a lot of things,. it must come from the inside, from within. It's a matter of seeing things in their natural way and appreciating them.

Oh many things make me happy as I am very easy to be happy, but especially when my family and friends are happy then I feel happy. I love listening to music and this makes me feel happy especially when I go out dancing, this is what I find makes me the happiest. Yes it is good for our health to smile not only now on I find it very easy.

I was happy today when I was around my best friend and her 2 little boys we had a great time today. I can make myself happy by watching a movie, listening to music or being around friends and family.These are good tips that you have by the way.

There are lots of thing to make us happy,but the question is...Is it true happiness or just pretentions?Well i am very happy and i will be happy forever because i know God loves me even though i failed Him always.That's the happiest moment in my life...and you are exactly correct that if you're happy all the time is liken to a medicine that gives inner healing...The key to a happy life is thankful heart!

For myself is necessary to keep a balance inside. Life is full of good and bad things, but I try always keep good thougts . I must have certain datum level of happiness. For example my kid, or my beloved. So in bad moments , when seems, that groud is moving under feets, I think - do it is the worst thing neither that joy (child, love, home...etc.) about I have??? Such minds help to stabilise scale - beem of emotions at first. Later I remember a proverb "the darkest hour come before daybreak..." Good thoughts make a smile in our faces no doubt. We musn't absorb all wrong what is turning around. Even moon have two sides. So just look at light and feel happiness!

One thing that always works for me is to think of something funny. Funny means "like fun," and having fun is a good way to be happy. :) My personal motto is, "Laughing at dumb jokes is still good for your health!!!" I made it, it's mine. And I swear by it. Feel free to use it if you like, but it's still mine! :P

If you want find happy person just meet my brother,always happy with a big smile at him face.

I simply choose to be happy. So yes, perhaps I am the type of person who can easily be happy, being with happy company and atmosphire will help you with that. Thats why I love commedy, and be with happy surroundings, if the ambiance seem dull, I cheer every one up, by emphysising how they look older with their present faces, Like you, they say I smile great and my eyes are smiling too. Learn to be happy and cheerful. lol, it's nice to live long

MY dog is making me happy every time I play with him. When I go out with my friends, they make me happy. I think that every thing can make us happy if we just let it. If we all think in an optimistic way, then every thing that will happen, will make us happy, even if it's not that happy thing. I believe that you always try to think positive in life.

I WISH I were a happier person. I had a councilor tell me that I've had long term depression. Way before the days of anti-depressents I was seeing a counilor because I wasn't happy - at 13/14. I continued to be unhappy and when I lost a couple of friends in a week, then 3 months later had the then roommate's mother die at my feet on Monday & have to put a beloved cat to sleep on Friday it just became too much. I was put on anti-depressents at that point. Its been 8 years & I'm still not a "happy" person, but I'm nolonger so depressed - I haven't found that anti-depressents make you happy, just ease the pain.

You are asking a good question. A question I ask a partner when he joins my buisness. I think that if you aren't happy with what you have now, you project that unhappy thought to the universe and the universe takes what you have now... (because you are unhappy with it...). If you are happy with what you have now, you will be more ready to recieve gifts given to you by the universe. Only when you are happy, you can ask the universe to send you better things - not because what you have now is bad, but because you wish to make it even better. Remember - thoughts become things.

Happiness belongs to the self sufficient and if only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time. Be true to yourself, you will feel happiness inside your heart. I'm a type of person who can be happy easily and there are many things that can make me happy, I do smile always, it keeps away the stress I feel. I have ways to make myself happy, I just follow the A, B, C's of happiness.Accept, Break Away, Create, Decide, Explore, Forgive, Grow, Hope, Ignore, Journey, Know, Love, Manage, Notice, Open, Play, Question, Relax, Share, Try, Use, Value, Work, X Ray, Yield, Zoom

In general, I am a happy person. Just look at the smile on my face in my picture! I try to look at the positive side of life and I love to tease. I teach high school students and they are always doing something that makes me smile. I try not to take life too seriously. I also like to smile more than I do frowning! To make myself happy I read jokes, or watch comedies on tv or dvd.

A lot of things make me happy, when I check mails and see my friends and family have written to me, when I know someone has bought a copy of my poetry book, when friends here support me no matter what, say encouraging words and show concern. There are many more things and its good to be happy.

good question! me being a typical cancerian, being at home with all my family members including my parents, my hubby, my sisters, all my neice, and my brothers-in-law is what makes me immensely happy. yes, i can be made happy easily.but sadly, i can be made depressed easily too. whenever i want to bring back a smile on my face, i either go down my memory lane where happy moments are stored, or i think of how my parents and hubby love me or i listen to music, or play with my pets.

I guess I can say it is hard to make me happy at times. I try but life can be so complicated at times. I have a wonderful husband but we have some money issues rigt now and I am not happy at my full time job. I just took on a second job because they cut hours at my full time job. I love my second job and wish I could afford to work there only but does not pay. I love to watch my grandson and he makes me very happy and we have fun. If we could get ahead on our bills and put aways some extra money and get away more I would really be more happy then. LIfe can throw some bad curves at times that is for sure
