Life Without Happiness : Life Without Happiness

Lazy fall days, colorful leaves, cooler weather, birds singing, frogs croaking, crickets chirping, relaxing to the sounds of the outdoors. Waves of water crashing upon each other, fishing, telling stories around a campfire, making s’mores, memories with family and friends; this is what happiness is to me. Happiness is in the eye of the beholder, what brings happiness to one person may not bring happiness to another person. When I think of the word happiness, I think of descriptive words like Contentment, enjoyment, satisfaction, delightfulness, something that makes a person smile. I have always looked at the word happiness as a feeling, an action, never have I thought of happiness as an overall affect. However, it is a proven fact, that happiness can affect the over-all health and longevity of human life. Happy people live longer than those that are lonely, stressed, or depressed.

Laughing in itself is therapeutic. People laugh for many different reasons. Some people even laugh when something horrible occurs, it is a method of escape from what horrors or mishaps are going on around you.

Happiness is a great thing. There are so many things to be happy about in the world. Just find something that makes you happy and stick with it.

Happiness is a key to everybodys life. Even the most depressed man on earth has a little happiness deep down inside. Its what keeps us striving to fulfil our needs and wants on an everyday basis. There is not one kid who does not get excited over a dollar to spend at the candy shop. What about the feeling of getting a promotion at your job, or even finding the cure for cancer. Being happy is not just healthy, but it is also rewarding for each and every individual. We strive to find anything that will turn a bad day to a good one. Individuals will compromise to attain their happiness. You can not get what you want without giving something first.

Based on Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi “Happiness Revisited” People have many different points of view about how to achieve happiness, it can be based on the type of life one is having, an experience, a way of living, culture, and religion. Happiness can be defined in many ways but happiness is not something we find or get just by magic. In “Happiness Revisited” by Csikszentmihalyi, the author emphasizes that “It is by being fully involved with every detail of our lives, whether good or bad, that we find happiness, not by trying to look for it directly.” And just as he stays that happiness is when someone is involved in everything that happens in live either good or bad, one example that I think Csikszentmihalyi will describe as an optimal experience

No one forces you to be happy, we as individuals have to choose to be happy. This option to be happy gives people opportunities to be better. Choosing to be happy can lead to accomplishing your, or others dreams,overcoming obstacles, and giving others happiness.

Essentially, seeking happiness is necessary in life. We often hope to find happiness from other people, other things around us and forget that we can create it by ourselves. The novel “The happiness project” by Gretchen Rubin is sufficient evidence. The author states, “I am happy – but I’m not as happy as I should be.”(13) Then she started a project within a year to change her life and seek for a happier life. By making a list of things she has to do in the next twelve months, the author have done many things which affects her “Vitality” (1), her “Marriage” (38), her “Leisure” (112), her “Friendship” (141),etc. positively so that she can achieve her goal, which is a life full filed of happiness as she dreamed before. We can also do that. We know that if everyone of us set a goal and live purposely, we are all happy. However, we can be happier if we know how to change ourselves on the right way. We can make ourselves happy by doing simple things in our everyday life.

Nearly everyone nowadays keeps saying things like happiness is key, being happy will help you in the long run, or something like that. To be honest, people tend to overhype these kind of things. However, can anyone live a life of only happiness? Can you even live a life of pure bliss? If I remember right, there are several degrees of happiness, so wouldn't the lower degrees count as sadness. And now I realized I got off track a bit. Anyways, while it’s nice to be happy and all, sadness is also a prominent part of our lives and can very easily take it away. Though it’s only temporary. However for some people, happiness is so close and yet beyond their grasp. And when they do achieve their goal, something just comes along

Happiness is complex. Humans learn how to be happy from first learning what it is like to have happiness excluded from their lives; it is next to impossible to appreciate something without first having to experience life without that said thing. People can experience this in many different ways: loss of a loved one, poverty, mental illness, broken home, heartbreak, etc. It is hard to delineate true happiness from what

My friends, along with my family, give me people to confide in, so that I do not have to go through life alone. Then when I need to let off some steam I can play sports, and express myself in my performance causing me to relax. If I were to keep all my frustration and problems concealed inside my head, I am setting myself up to be unhappy. I am at my happiest when I face the fact that I can not control every aspect of my life. Therefore, I let nature take its course knowing that I tried my hardest and that is all that I could do. I grew up hearing my parents say that if I try my hardest they will be proud of me. I have kept these words with me and will continue to while I go through life, for it gives me a peace of mind. Happiness is one of the driving forces in my life. I say this because if I am in an emotional state, I think of what I can possibly do to come out the happiest in this situation. Happiness is a goal for me because that means I am content in my situation and not overwhelmed with what is happening around me. I avoid becoming overwhelmed by looking at the good outcomes that are possible in every situation, instead of focusing on what could go wrong. As long as I keep my positive outlook I will be able to maintain happiness in my

I think no one can ever be one hundred percent happy for their whole life, but I think people can be content. There will always be moments that are not happy moments but there will always be another moment that can bring joy. I believe you can be happy with your life, even with those moments of other emotion. One of the main things that I want in life is happiness. What can make me happy are many different things. I long for happiness, and in that longing many things that have the
