I have often wondered what happiness exactly is? I have read so much about people talking about being happy. Here’s some information I found, have put together to find out if we are all really happy in our life and in fact what happiness is in reality?

The guy’ whose happiness became a misery some time after winning a lottery and others who had nothing but still were happy. Changes in circumstances in one’s life could change his or her emotions for better or for worse depending one’s own reactions to those changes.

If you think happiness could be different your observations are most welcome.

Happiness – Is just one form of Emotion

There are many other forms of emotion. Sadness, love, hate, curiosity, revulsion, excitement, jealousy, contentment, depression, anxiety, fear, guilt and anger.

All emotions have causes, causes that need to be understood and controlled. 


Whims are an obstacle to happiness.
Simply entertaining your whims do not cause the emotion of happiness. Happiness is not merely a life lived by accumulating moments of pleasure. On the contrary, happiness is a long lasting enduring enjoyment of life; it is being in love with living. It is your reward for achieving a good character and personal rational values in life. Some important values are a productive career, romance, friendship and hobbies. 


Achieving these values requires rationality and takes effort and skill. Two types of skills you can use are thinking skills and valuing skills.
Once you learn to have confidence in your own mind and once you discover the virtues that make it possible for you to achieve your values and that make your life worth living, then you will experience the result - an earned pride and a genuine self-esteem and of course happiness.

Definition
of Happiness: "Happiness is not the satisfaction of whatever irrational wishes you might blindly attempt to enjoy.

Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy - a joy without penalty or guilt...
Happiness is possible only to a rational man, the man who desires nothing but rational goals, seeks nothing but rational values, and finds his joy in nothing but rational actions... there are no victims and no conflicts of interest among rational men, men who do not desire the unearned..." AYN RAND
