The idea of being happiest seems inconceivable to me. In my mind, happiness is a state of mind. Having said that, one can choose to be happy, sad, uncomfortable or glad. If and only if one will subcride to owning there life and take responsability for it, can you truley find happiness. As a child, happiness was a new bike. As an adult happiness is fleeting and a quest. I have found happiness in many ways. Be it new love that eventuley faided, a 1000 wining hand of black jack or playing and understanding my dog. Happiness is and always will be a state of mind

I’m happiest when I’m engrossed with something and not thinking “meta-thoughts” in terms of it. I’m not thinking outside myself, in other words, or worrying about what could go wrong or whether I deserve whatever good experience I’m having.

I’m at my happiest when I’m hanging out with my husband (who happens to be my best friend), my mom, and/or my sister. There is nothing better than feeling totally loved and accepted.

I am not sure what the state is called, but there is a moment, sometimes extended over many minutes when my knowledge, my fitness and my readiness all come together in a way that I lose track of myself and am just part of the moment. That is when I am happiest. And it is REALLY hard to attain.

I most happy when I also feel secure. Specifically when all the bills are paid and I have extra money. When my car, house and all my gear is working properly. All in all, happiness is a blissful time when I don’t have anything to stress me.

I m happy when i know i’ve accomplished something, if i can recognize n appreciate myself for what i’ve been doing then i am happy, even if anyone else does’nt recognize my work, it does’nt matter, if i’m true to myself then it shows within. Being good to others,helping others is all a part of being happy. On the other hand there are lots of reason that make u unhappy when something does’nt turn out way u expected, when u feel u’ve done something wrong. Though i feel we can’t really distinguish each n every moment based on this, being happy is a state of mind too, we can choose to be happy even though we feel we don’t/can’t make that choice n leave it to our past experiences or just let it go out of our control, coz its us who decide how our mind should react to any situation, we’ve trained ourselves.
