The secret is that there is probably no secret. LOL. I have lived a hard life and let me get it done alot(which is sortof has right now) and it is only when I become determined and want to be happy and live life to the fullest that i feel and inner peace and can actually enjoy life. Sometimes something as simple as watching the leaves blow in the wind or seeing a butterfly can mean that day was a success becuase it made me smile.

My greatest achievement in life is being happy... i know it sounds corny, but how many people are successful, have achieved so much but aren't happy!!!

I thought for years that one day I could earn or find or make happiness.  I worked hard, saved and tried every suggestion around.  I kept trying and kept trying then one day....I just relized... Happiness is a goal not a position.  Getting there is all the fun.\nNow I find happiness in a plain regular day.  A normal walk.  A pretty flower.  Happiness is not a particular destination but a journey.  And if you smile at someone you are half way there.  :)

good question ....\n\nI think true happiness starts in being happy with yourself and who you are.

generally yes unless living in a utopian society

Happiness is a state of mind. Therefore, it comes from within. That's my opinion. Then again, I am generally happy. Others, those that have to go elsewhere to find it, will (obviously) disagree.

No, its not wrong.  There is no universal standard for happiness.  To each his own.

True happiness for me is being able to worship my God on a daily basis and appreciating His grace for my imperfection. In Christ there is true happiness.

Yes,life is worth to be happy and thankful for what we have...No,i don't think unworthy to be sad because we may not have what the neighors has across the street or someone else has more money than i do...I'm far from being sad,of course you want to do better,but as long as you are doing your best,you can't expert anymore from yourself...And i'm happy for what i have...\n Clowmy

Happiness is a feeling of wellbeing, contentment, and love. True happiness can exist constantly in a person no matter their situation. The best way to become happy is to decide you want it and start doing the things and acting the way that will make it happen.

whatever makes him happy being successful does't always equate to happiness

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.

Yes I can. I have a man I love and loves me in return, we have dreams and goals that we are working towards. Everything isn't perfect, but I have to say that I am fulfilled and very happy. If I were to die tonight my man would know I had been happy.

No.\n\nWould a person consistently do, say, or think higher or better things if they did not feel truth within their heart? That is, what would be the reward of competing with an imaginary concept? You don't understand people very well if you think that imaginary rewards from imaginary beings are enough to keep them "in line" for years upon years.\n\nBut let me just speak for myself. Imaginary rewards from imaginary beings with imaginary qualities are not enough to make me want to do better and be better. If I did not have evidence of God in my heart and soul, I would be a sloppy, self-centered, chronic-misdemeanor-committing, self-indulgent jackass. This is my nature. Trust me, I know. If this world was the only world there was, I would slather my incompetence and selfishness all over it, and I wouldn't care about any consequences except prison. And, no, I'm not kidding.\n\nIt takes more than an imaginary concept to make me want to be better. It takes more than imaginary incentive to make me want to rise above my small-minded nature. It takes true spiritual rewards from a living God who actually provides them. What the deal is, is that without God I have a dark heart and a murky mind. When I lived outside of God's grace, I was an utter and complete tool.\n\nThere was no human incentive good enough for me to change my heart and mind. Anything any of you people could have offered--money, prestige, personal glory, fame, or any of that hoo-ha--just wasn't good enough. All of it (at least the money, prestige, and personal glory, which I did have or think I had) did not change my dark heart and murky mind. It fed these things, in fact, and I craved more.\n\nMy problem was that there was nothing in this world that was satisfactory and whose promise did not wear off shortly after I attained it.\n\nIt was when I reached the point where I came to understand this for real, and I hated it, all of it, that I began searching for God in earnest.\n\nIt wasn't you, or him, or her that I was competing with, trying to satisfy, or holding up as a standard. All you people were as bad as or worse off than I was. Nobody had anything I wanted. And as for good behavior and good intentions--people who exhibited these things turned my stomach. I certainly didn't see that as an incentive either.\n\nI hope that this answers your question. To sum up: Only God could fill the chasm within myself, and he did fill it when I sought him. If it was all just a concept, it wouldn't have worked--because I have chased after many a concept, seized upon its claims, and turned up empty-handed in the end.\n\nGod lives, his promises are real, he provides, and all that is of him endures.

The meaning of true happiness would be knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and growing strong in your relationship with Him. My joy and peace come from Christ Jesus. Knowing that you have eternal life in Him brings true happiness.

Sucess is subjective. What mekes that particular person happy. Two people can lead exact identical lives and yet one could be less satisfied with it than the other.
