Defining happiness

Posted by chica with issues under personal development issues

Defining happiness might seem like a rather simple task. If someone asked you to define happiness you could likely easily spout off something about bliss or feeling content. Or maybe you would go to Dictionary.com and look it up for guidance.

hap·pi·ness /ˈhæpinɪs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[hap-ee-nis]
–noun
1. the quality or state of being happy.
2. good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy.
[Origin: 1520–30; happy + -ness]

Of course, defining happiness is not really all that simple. Partly because happiness has a different definition for each person. And before you can define happiness I think that you need to assess whether or not you are happy and then build from that. You need to see how YOU define happiness.

And realizing when you are not happy I think is the key to finding your happiness.
