Happiness is a state of the mind. The dictionary definition is "feelings of joy and pleasure mingled together”. A feeling of happiness is more than just an experience of joy or pleasure. It is a state of mind where the individual feels that “life is good”.
I think happiness is more like how many small positive things one can experience daily. The small pleasures, the happy incidences that are really worth so much more then a magnificent one.
Happiness is so deeply related to knowing and accepting who we are. I think we all need to really listen to our inner voice, and learn to detach ourselves from those thoughts that can cause suffering and pain. After all we can't count on anyone making us happy, it is all up to us, we have the key in our hands. To end my writing for today I will leave you with a short quote that I often think about when I am not feeling that happy.
Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.
