What is Happiness?

[Queso]

Finding you're comfortable with most aspects of your life, and quite able to deal with everything you're not comfortable with.

Not far from complacency, then?

Exactly, but I'm quite content with my laziness

Happiness is funny. Because happy people dance.

Happiness --> Waking up!

Real happiness --> Waking up to the sun!

Supreme happiness --> being able to stay in bed just another five minutes. Repeatedly.

Supreme happiness --> being able to stay in bed just another five minutes. Repeatedly.

With fresh coffee brought in when you call.

Unlimited horsepower?

Or I'll just settle for seeing the smile on my 3 year old son's face on Christmas morning.

You might have something there!

As they say, it's the little things that really matter -- like 5 minute increments!

I believe living in true and lasting happiness is the ultimate goal of everybody. Once your needs of shelter, clothing and nourishment are met, attaining happiness is as easy as adjusting your mental attitude, and anyone can achieve this. I think most people feel you need a significant other or material possessions to obtain lasting happiness, but that is not true.

I've come to believe you can be happy right now just by making the mental effort to be happy. The first, of course, is to be grateful, something Oprah harps about constantly on her show. What can I say, I'm an Oprah fan.

Many people believe that the most important reason to live is to be happy. However, happiness differs among everybody, as different things make different people happy. So my question to you is what makes you happy? How can happiness be achieved? Are you happy? (please be as thorough in your explanation as you'd like).

ps. I found this thread by mistake searching for the terms "kills" and "ugly".

Happiness is a Todd Solondz film. Do not watch it if you're depressed or going through a rough time. Even so, it will definitely eff with your mind.

I believe Freud said Happiness is Love and Work. I somewhat agree. I find happiness in purchasing items with my hard earned money (ie. 2 Macbooks) instead of having others (ie. parents) purchase them for me.
