Who has it?

I mean true happiness.

A job you enjoy and look forward to each day.

Someone that makes you smile stupidly.

Friends and family.

Do you want it all? Do you need it all?

Happiness is not having it all, it's having enough and knowing it.

I have a decent job, that I like.

I have a lovely house, that I will have to sell eventually.

I have a daughter, she melts my heart.

I'm happy. I don't need more.

I would like someone, to make them happy, but I know that this doesn't define my life

I’m lonely and miserable. I can’t remember the last time I smiled to be honest.

The old advert used to say that “happiness is a cigar called hamlet” so maybe I just need one of those

It's taken me a long time to get here but yes I am happy with all of those aspects of my life and I appreciate them.

OP, our paths haven't crossed often on the forums and therefore I may well be missing some kind of knowledge or back story but I do wish you happiness in your life.

No? I’d at least like to try it.

Op. I find happiness in other people if I don’t feel it. Watching my kids especially does it. Watching others smile also makes me feel that life and the world isn’t that bad. I then can look for what makes me smile.

Job? Nope. Family are useless (except my kids) someone special? Hahaha.

Yes, I am happy.

There's bits in my life I would change but they're not making me unhappy.

Yuval Noah Harari presents some interesting theories on happiness in his book Sapiens. If true, I'm greatful to be one of those lucky people with a relatively high happiness set point.

Happiness is fleeting, it comes and goes. Just like any other feeling. Its a sliding scale...to be happy all the time is unrealistic, that's what I think anyway.

True happiness is all relative dependent on what makes you happy. I’ve found that life is no fairytale so don’t get too up or too down. That’s survival but also happiness

Thinking about it, happiness is a lot like pissing yourself.

Sure, everyone can see it on the outside. But only you get that warm, fuzzy feeling.

Life beats us down, no one can be happy all the time. What we can be is content with who we are and what we have got. Contentness is happiness in my eyes.

I’ve found through life, happiness can mean different things.

From work to a partner to good health.

The conclusion I came to was being grateful for what you have and enjoying it in that moment.

We spend our lives constantly chasing things which we think are going to make us happy but for them to be short lived and then back on the cycle again.

Now I have a nice life, a job that I can walk away from a mind think I’ve done soon good today and a lover who makes me happy and I appreciate.

Contentment is achieved through being grateful! Rather looking at those in front of you, look at those behind you

I'm skeptical of this idea that we should always be happy and happiness is a badge of success. That unhappiness is likewise failure. Its ok not to be happy all the time. We are humans and we live in the real world, not the world of Disney.

My life is full of stress and things that make me unhappy. Having said that I live a good life and I am surrounded by people who love me. I have a good secure job, very well paid and although I'm not mad for going to work it's not too bad. So although I am not happy all the time in general I am happy where it counts. Mainly though the love and people I have in my life. And to be fair that is a happiness of my own creation of how I live my life and the love I give. Some of the people who love me are family, some freinds and a lot of them are family not through blood who chose to love me and make me their family.

I can't always be happy all the time, life is tough and dark sometimes. And I imbrace that, it part of life and growing as a person. But love brings me happiness and what I truly value. I have it in abundance so I will always be ok whatever the future brings.

I think is in the eye of the beholder.

One person's happiness is another's misery.

Maybe content is a word we are more likely to obtain. We are happy and content in our life together. We have good jobs, a lovely home, no debt, our health, a wonderful daughter etc, but we have both recently lost our mums, so it's all with a tinge of sadness at the moment.

We don't want for anything or envy others, so content is a good word.

I have many things in my life that make me unhappy and a handful that dont.

But i choose to be happy. To me, happiness is a state of mind and right now, my mind is one of the few things i can have total control over. So i choose for that place to be happy

A simple smile on your face, recipricated by a complete stranger can do wonders.

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort and living a life of purpose. So yes, I am truly happy, knowing I don't need other people or material things. Have family and friends, eat healthy and get plenty exercise milking big dicks regularly.

I truly believe that no one in the world has happiness 100% of the time. I think it’s a feeling that comes and goes for different reasons, for every individual.

I don’t mean that in a negative way at all. Just realistic.

Personally, I have days, weeks, months of absolute happiness and feeling completely content, but that can change in a matter of seconds depending on different triggers that change peoples moods.

I’d say I have a lot to be appreciative of, a good feeling of being content and happy around 80% of my life… but there are always those down times.

I try to find happiness daily in the small things. I nearly always manage that. But somewhat unhappy with the bigger picture at present. My friends and family are perfect though - absolutely wonderful.

My 21 & 17 year olds being happy makes me happy.

Being with someone who is daft and funny, but also someone who has drive and ambition.

Doing nice things in nice places with nice people too
