There is no way to know for sure. I believe questioning your possible complacency with regards to well-being or happiness is a healthy thing to do. Try to be confident in how you feel, as long as you're not chopping people up to feel it. Ask people directly what how secure/content/happy you seem to be from their perspective.

Be content when you are not having sex, and when you have sex enjoy it.  Then, you'll be happy having sex, forever. I would suppose.

The low paid job I would prefer. Happiness is a blessing and a job that gives you satisfaction is definately a reward.

Happiness is relative. It cannot exist without comparison. Life is only valuable because it's limited.

Noway is happiness the same as sadness. Happiness is enjoying everything around you. Learning to apprieciate what God has giving you. Learning to be happy no matter what is going on. You can still smile cause you know its all gonna be alright in the end.

(m)\n\nHappiness, ventured William James, the noted 19th century philosopher/psychologist, is reflected in the ratio of one's accomplishments to one's aspirations. This suggests, of course, that when it comes to feeling happy in our lives, we can choose one of two paths: continually add to our list of accomplishments--or lower our expectations.\n\nSince then, researchers have suggested new definitions of happiness and how we should go about getting there. In their attempt to understand and quantify the state of "subjective well-being" (lab-speak for happiness), a new ratio/question has emerged: How many positive vs. negative experiences must people have before they can call themselves genuinely "happy"?\n\nThe general consensus of current research is that happiness is greatest when we combine frequent numbers of good experiences with a few very intense ones. The good experiences may include, for example, having a good, productive job, a caring spouse or romantic partner, and several hobbies or interests that one takes pleasure in. An occasional romantic getaway weekend, the birth of a new child, or garnering recognition for some personal or professional deed would satisfy the need for intense pleasures.\n\nYet, to feel happy, our focus nevertheless needs to be on the frequency, not the intensity, of positive events in our lives. Learning how to take pleasure in the littler victories, recognizing their importance in our lives, and working hard to minimize the negatives will accomplish more than waiting around for a burst of intense pleasure. When we place an overriding emphasis on the "big moments," we run the risk of disillusionment and disappointment--we miss out on the very things that do the scut work of happiness.\n\nWhile there appears to be no one route to happiness, information gathered by researchers from interviews with thousands of subjects of varying ages, economic backgrounds, education level, age, sex, and cultural origin suggests that there are steps we can take to improve our overall satisfaction and well-being. To describe them for you, we sought out four top happiness researchers from across the United States and Canada.\n\nWe asked all of them the same five questions:\n\no How do you define happiness?\n\no What are the best ways to get there?\n\no Who is happy...happier...happiest?\n\no What doesn't lead to happiness (that we mistakenly think will)?\n\no Has the definition of happiness changed significantly over the last few decades?\n\nDrawing on self-report scales, longitudinal studies, and clinical interviews with thousands of subjects, the following experts offer some practical advice on the subtle art of feeling good.

Nothing wrong with self-pleasure.  You do need to get out & be doing something ovccassionally, like go to church events.

You can't buy happiness. You can buy things that make you happy. But true happiness comes from within.\n\nYou can achieve this by believing in yourself. Believing you are one of a kind. Believing God loves you. \n\nFeeling unhappy? Try this one time. Smile at someone. They will automatically smile back and make them feel happy.

Money makes you comfortable, provides a quality living environment, and helps you sleep easy at night.  It doesn't guarantee happiness.  Happiness (to me) is derived from your relationships with those closest to you and the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures.  Motorcycle riding on a perfect day, laughter, romance, sunsets, feeling good health and helping others.

You are basing your wants on human desires and not on spiritual desires. If it is just human desires that you want, joy, happiness, etc. think about the best times in your life, and multiply that hundreds and hundreds of times. The joy and love you will feel in heaven will be liken to this. Now think about the alternative...

Happiness is like love; it is defined as a personal thing. In order to achieve happiness, maybe one needs to learn more acceptance,forgiveness and tolerance. Just an idea.
