The Road to Happiness
"The simplest things can bring the greatest happiness." -Izabella Scorupco.
We all have different definitions of happiness. What may make you happy may not be a source of happiness for other people.
What others call their source of joy and fulfillment may be a source of contempt for you.
For example, many may say that their happiness comes from their families and good health. For others, it may be their job and career. For some, it is their wealth and social standing in the community. For more than one, tasty food and drink enlighten you like no other. And the list goes on.
That said, researchers have long debated over a single definition of happiness. This is because there are too many factors that affect and contribute to a person's happiness. The consensus, however, is that "happiness is the state of being happy."
I know this definition still seems a bit vague, but the point is that happiness is a state of mind that reflects the range of emotions you encounter on a daily basis. It defines how you view your life, that is, whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied with your quality of life. If you are dissatisfied, obviously, it means you are not happy. However, if you are, good for you!
