Happiness is not having what you want, it's appreciating what you have, this is one thing I get to know when I was very young.
Their are lot of misconception about what happiness entails,due to the fact that many people have define this in different ways and even we have all see this word in different angles which as given every individual the right to define what happiness means to them base on their views.
Honestly I will say this is another means to come out with a proper view on what happiness means,most especially giving my view too on what it means and here Is my entry.
Looking at the word "Happiness"
Happiness is an emotional state of feelings that comes with satisfaction and contememnt and fulfilment.I also see the word "happiness" as a positive emotions and life satisfaction.
Happiness to me just like everyone else goes beyond getting gifts and material things,that is why their should be a place of satisfaction in whatever we are doing, contememnt too is another factor and we just have to understand.
You can have it all and still not be happy, their is this misconception that having money or been wealthy is all human needs,but to me even rich people lives a sad life,that is why the word "Happiness" goes above riches and material things in life.
The balance of emotions is very important too as this is one thing the can take away any form of happiness in us if it is not properly looked into, having negative feelings or mood often and often can deprive us from actually building up the concept of happiness in us,we need to understand that been happy too also means been positive too.
Just as balance of emotions is vital when it comes to happiness, having life satisfaction too is vital as this is one thing that can affect the word happiness in us on most occasions,been contememnt with what we have in life is another perfect way of building happiness too.
To me I see happiness as a life that we should live irrespective how bad things might be at times,but we all need to understand that having a positive feelings too inspite of difficulties of life too is very important,this are things that helps in living a happy life.
Am always of the opinion that happiness won't come just because you have all what you want,but honestly it is all about appreciating what you have.
