Happiness boils down to good r/nships, good health & good provision, is there any truth in this?

The truth is, happiness starts with yourself and your relationship with God.  If you are happy with who you are then your relationships etc., will be happy ones too.

Yes, I would be happy with what Ive done in my life so far.I'm raising 4 kids, going to college to be a nurse, working as a paramedic, and trying to be there for family and friends. So life is good for me. Helping people is something I love to do.

Virtually everything makes me happy, but then I've discovered how to be happy pretty much regardless of circumstances. You should try it sometime. I think you'd like it. :))

Well, that depends on your definition of "the good things in life."  The good things in life can come from just being and doing, not buying.  It's truly all a state of mind.  Being happy and content with what you have, and not always wanting more, can make a person happy.  Of course, it's human nature to always want more; and when we see so many material things in front of us all the time (magazines, tv, etc.), it's easy to get in the trap of always wanting more, more, more.  I'm not trying to be hypocritical here, because I'm the same as everyone out there, I love nice things too.  I've just found over time however, that I can be just as happy having less, as opposed to having more.  Does that make any sense?

Life should not be a constant "happy" high!  \n\nHappiness is shallow - acquired by short-lived, unfulfillng experiences and material things or self-serving purposes.  It's fleeting,  that's why most Americans are constantly in pursuit of it!\n\nAnyone who says that they are always happy,  are oblivious to and/or unconcerned about the world and those immediately around them.  There are many things to be sad and concerned about - hunger, disease, poverty, war, domestic abuse, child neglect, etc.  Those who are constantly happy obviously turn their heads to those in need.\n\nJOY comes when we see that others' lives have been improved.  It also comes when have overcome an obstacle in life with God's help.  It takes God-given sadness and concern first to motivate us to do so.  Most Americans seek what makes them happy,  not what brings them deep joy.\n\nTo say that,  with God,  we should always be happy,  is ignorant.  God gave us sadness for good reasons.  Without it,  we would never miss those we love,  we would never feel for someone else's pain,  we would never feel deep joy to have truly loved someone - we would miss many,  deep life experiences.  We would never reach out to others with genuine love!

Hello....I think a good life is as good as you make it...a good life doesn't have to be filled with money and material things...a good life is filled with love and family and good times...you live a good life by doing all you can for other people..taking care of yourself...being happy even when times are rough...I think there really is a heaven and hell...after we pass we can't all go to the same place it would be so over crowded so they have one for the bad and one for the good people..there doesn't have to be terrors in the world..these people just choose to be this way..and we know where there going..i don't know why we can't just all get along...we all could if we tried....yes there's god and saitin...I always think if i pass in my sleep will everyone in my life know how much i love them, so I try and show them every day...

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

Funny, that's exactly what I'm working on right now.  Love makes us feel good.  I love the sun, I love the rain.  I love children, I just love to wake up in the morning.  It makes me feel good.  I am changing for the better, even though sometimes I'm surrounded by negativity, I try not to let that get me down.  If I cannot change the situation, then I walk away from it, because life is too short to waste your energy on anything but love.\n\nThanks for asking!!!!  I LOVE YOU TOO!!!

Beauty is associated with good health. The first answer is correct.

happiness derived mainly from superficial things is bound to backfire & develop emptiness/void/etc.however, happiness derived from the stability of healthy relationships is priceless & will make one happier regardless of their financial status/although it helps to improve their lifestyle,won't necessarily improve their feelings(one example would be from the new tim burton remake of the charlie&the chocolate factory movie about a poor family who may not have a lot of material things but what matters most is that they have love & each other)anyone who is rich can easily donate money & it's another 'feel good' thing for wealthy people to do to temporarily feed their ego.donating time is more sincere & satisfying.it also depends on each individual's attitudes:whether one is a pessimist or optimist greatly affects their outlook on life & happiness.

I've always been taught that Happiness knows no boundaries.\nUnfortunately not all follow this teaching, but for those of us who do, we know that weight, color, materalistic things, doesn't matter when it comes to finding the the woman or man who makes you happy and vice versa.\n\n\nI stuck with my woman when she weighed over 200 lbs and I stuck by her side when she lost it and could have passed for a model, and I'm sticking with her even now as she battles the weight gain process again.  I've never in my life been ashamed to show the world who makes me happy.\n\nwhen you get caught up in what you think the world will accept, you lose out on a good thing.

assuming that misery is the ultimate state of unhappiness? Sure, as happiness has no requirement. Ah, I see ... it is a trick question... to know that you are happy is a kind of misery anyway as knowledge foreshadows wisdom and wisdom is a sad thing. Igorance again is the key ... actually this question resembles a koan like what is the sound of one hand clapping or mu.
