be happy with who you are. the rest when you love yourself, will fall into place. \n\npeople think it is material things, or money that make people happy, however, it is the things that cannot be bought that are the most valuable. \n\nlove, health and happiness.  they are not things...they are everything.   you can't hold them, or buy them, they just are.

Tough question...In my opinion, a good person is someone who treats people fairly, not necessarily good, but how they would want to be treated in any situation.  I also appreciate someone who will tell me like it is and not blow sunshine up my butt.  I guess they would have to be morally correct as well.

easily rich or happy. you want to be happy because hapiness tells you that you are pleased with yourself and your surroundings. you have love, you are healthy, you are intelligent and successful. once youre healthy and fit, you can do all things. youll be able to live a longer life, your self efficacy and self esteem are high, you are smart and intelligent pertaining to your mental health. you have good emotional health because all of this would lead to happiness joy and love. add to the fact that you are filthy rich because you were a great entrepreneur, your abilities to do things better than others, your talents to have great vision and focus. it basically has an affect on everything else you listed.

Satisfying basic needs brings contentment, but 'good' is a very subjective term. One mans 'goodness' is another mans interference. Most people prefer to have what they need and then determine their own subsequent conduct and beliefs.

To tell you the truth I don't know if you can be happy every day of your life. Certainly not every moment. \n Keeping a positive attitude, knowing that things will be better when they are bad, knowing things could be so much worse. Having a special someone in your life that you love and loves you back. Well those are the things that keep me happy most days. But I am not perfect and the world isn't perfect so I take what I can get and make the best of it.

To lead your life in the best way you can and to be happy and make other people happy.  To show compassion and kindness and tolerance for those around you.  To be the best person you can be.

Neither one. Consider this; a successful person is generally perceived as a happy person. Happiness is a measure of success, but success is not necessarily a measure of happiness. You can achieve poverty. Poverty is not an element of success. I do understand what you are asking but, as far as successer, there is no such word. The closest word would be successor, which is  a thing or person that immediately replaces something or someone.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. -Hugh Downs \n\nHappiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. -Ralph Waldo Emerson\n\nIf you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.\nIf you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.\nIf you find serenity and happiness, they may be envious. Be happy anyway.\nIf you do good today, people will often forget it tomorrow. Do good anyway.\nGive the world the best you have, and it may not be enough. Give the world the best you have got anyway.\nYou see, in the end it is between you and God, never between you and them anyway. \nMother Theresa   \n\nLove is not the place to find happiness.  Learn to be happy with yourself, and you will find happiness anywhere.  You will even be able to share it with someone you love.  \n\nAnd if you are happy with yourself, you will be better able to receive love and enjoy it more fully.\n\nWe often get caught up in struggles with someone else when what we need most is to make peace with God and within ourselves.  \n\nIf you find that you are unhappy with you, that's actually good news.  You then know where to start turning things around, and it's something you can do.  That's empowering.\n\nForgiveness is usually the place to start.  What haven't you forgiven others for?  What haven't you forgiven yourself for?  Forgiveness is the only thing that will set you free so that you can move forward.\n\nForgiveness is not saying it's okay that someone did something or that something happened.  It's releasing someone from the debt of making it up to you.  In the end, they really can't.  There is no making it up.  What we want is for the deed to be undone - and it can't be.  When you can accept that it can't be undone and you find peace with that, you can move on, unhindered by the grief that unforgiveness brings.\n\nWhatever hurts others have caused you, let it go.  Whatever expectations you had that didn't get met, let them go.  Learn to be happy with who you are and all the other disappointments in life will not be so hard to bear.\n\nWishing you much peace, happiness, and love...

There is  a difference between being paid well/benefitting from and job and being happy and fulfilled.  The question isn't what would I do, the question is whether or not you are willing to possibly sacrifice the good parts of the job you have for something that gives you the chance to do something you feel is more worthwhile.
