HAPPINESS

Someone asked me, “What is happiness?”. It seemed to be an odd question at the time but it made me think. I came up with several answers after checking on dictionaries - it is a state and not a trait, it is a feeling of contentment with pleasure. But I realized, the definition of happiness will depend on WHO you ask because it actually is a highly subjective thing. Everyone has different needs in life and everyone experiences happiness in different ways. One man’s happiness could mean solitude in a room while listening to reggae music on a Saturday night, while another’s could be at a party with friends.

So to that person who asked me, here’s my answer: Happiness is simple. Having food to eat, love within the family, good relationship with partner and friends is really what defines my life’s happiness.

TIPS for FINDING HAPPINESS: 1) From time to time, step aside from daily life. 2) Keep in mind that you are human and you have distinct needs. 3) Avoid chemicals which imitate happiness. 4) Do not fall for the first negative emotion. 5) Understand happiness for what it is.

I just want to be happy in a world where I don’t know what will make me happy, is that too much to ask?

I interviewed some of my friends who come from different countries, are now living in different places, working in different fields... asking them a few questions on happiness. Their answers might make you laugh a little bit, or perhaps they will make you feel something.

“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights." Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ #DefineHappiness

"Happiness is a warm gun," the Beatles sung; "Happiness is the truth, " Pharell added; "Happiness is a word for amateurs," Violent Femmes's take on the subject. . I wached a talk by a dietitian disputing the detoxifying effects of juicing. He said that a body detoxifies itself pretty well once you stop feeding toxins into it. I guess, the same thing applies to happiness. It's a natural state which can be achieved by removing all things that make one unhappy. #Расфилософствовалась . . My definitions change from day to day. Today I've been made happy by a buckwheat pudding... What would make u most happy now? . . P.S. This picture was posted to stories a couple of days ago. So many friends responded to it that I've decided to post it here in my not so temporary collection. 🖤🖤🖤 . . #happyme #happiness #definehappiness #pharrell #thebeatles #violentfemmes #happygirl #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #workandtravel #selfie #selfiesunday #blackandwhite #happinessisawormgun #happinessisthetruth #bw #bwphotos #internationalhappinessday

I am silent ,and feel to remain silent against the bads. I always wondered as a youth why people never fought back ,never raised their voice .....I think I understand now ,because iam becoming one of them.

It feels like as if our energy is drained out , we have so many problems that we end up getting lost into them and remain quiet.....,

Probelm of our country is we all have extra emotions ...everything in extra ....

Highly efficient brains .....but use all our brains to find out what's happening next door ...and thinking things which have no logic at all...

Huge flowing emotions ....not using them in right direction....end up immitating movies .

We have Great potential( no doubt about it )but which is drained out completely by the silly problems, society problems .....and at a point each of us become a emotion-less being.

Who compromised everything ....everything and lives only with a reason to exist ..and nothing else .

End up losing humanity who either become beast or helpless .

When we were kids, we always wondered how happy we would be if we found a treasure (like fairy tales ). Now even after finding one we didnot find a gem of all ..happiness .

It's not the treasure which made it special .It's the happiness which made it special ....a special feeling .

Happiness is key to our lives,whole purpose of our living . The final ultimate goal of a being is to be happy

Happy Feelings is the one making difference.Makes us lively and gives purpose for life ....

So be happy ,which ultimately gives us strength to raise against sadness or the bads ....

Bill Sparkman (aka Sparky). Nashville, Tennessee on 1/1/17. Define Happiness: “It’s just any instance, or time, or thing that gives you that moment of feeling good and that this is what you want to be and where you want to be.”

Define Your Happiness!

Thank you for visiting my blog!  While you are here, please define your happiness and read how others define happiness!

In the recent past, I had a college project to make a virtual time capsule.  In this time capsule, we had to interview people on their definition of happiness.  It was extremely interesting to hear these definitions from a few individuals, define my own happiness, and have the ability to see how these definitions differ from each other.

There are so many different ways to define happiness and I really look forward to reading your definition.  My goal is to see happiness defined from every country in the world.

Ready.... Set.... Answer the questions below to define your happiness...... :-)

1. What is your definition of happiness?

2. How did you gain this view?

3. Do you feel that happiness is achievable?

4. Has your definition of happiness changed over time?

5. What experiences have influenced your definition?

6. Do you expect your definition to change again?
