What is Happiness
What is Happiness




 The term happiness describes a state of mind or the feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, contentment or joy.
  Happiness is something different for each individual so no one thing can be said to make everyone happy.
  Each person needs to go out and see what things make them feel contentment and joy and if they want to
        be happy surround themselves with people, pets or things that will give them those feelings .
If you still wonder what
 happiness is, don't feel
           alone.

Philosophers, writers and
leaders have been trying
     to come up with
 definitions of happiness
 for thousands of years.
"Happiness depends on yourselves."
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Greek philosopher
"The summit of
 happiness is reached
when a person is ready
   to be what he is.“

 Desiderius Erasmus
 (1466 - 1536), Dutch
      humanist
"Amusement is the happiness of those who cannot think."
       Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744), English poet
"Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion."
     Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778), French philosopher
"I am more and more convinced that our happiness or unhappiness depends far more
 on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of the events themselves."
             Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767 - 1835), German philosopher
"There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but
  then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another, if the first calculation is
                     wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere."
                        Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), English author, Mansfield Park
"Independence is happiness."
Susan B. Anthony (1820 - 1906), American women's suffrage leader
"Derive happiness in
 oneself from a good
   day's work, from
 illuminating the fog
 that surrounds us.“

Henri Matisse (1869 -
 1954), French artist
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony."
          Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948), Indian leader and politician
"Happiness is not
       achieved by the
     conscious pursuit of
        happiness; it is
c     generally the by-
       product of other
          activities."

    Bertrand Russell (1872
       - 1970), English
         philosopher
"Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length."
       Robert Frost (1874 - 1963), American poet
"Even a happy life cannot be
     without a measure of
   darkness, and the word
happy would lose its meaning
  if it were not balanced by
 sadness. It is far better to
  take things as they come
   along with patience and
          equanimity.“

   Carl Jung (1875 - 1961),
    Founder of analytical
         psychology
"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city."
              George Burns (1896 - 1996), American comedian
Getting happiness is very simple, its starts by doing the things you love/enjoy. It
  could be as simple as taking a shower, or maybe watching the stars at night! Don't
think about being unhappy, imagine the good things in life. Perhaps a good future with
   a loved one. And always remember that money doesnt buy happiness, happiness
                                comes from two things.
                         The mind and the heart!
Stay Happy
       &
 Enjoy your
Life to fullest
