What makes a person happy?

If you believe it is money, health, travel or a good figure, then you’re wrong. You can have all the wealth in the world and still be unhappy. In fact, research suggests that a surplus of wealth could be detrimental to feelings of lasting happiness unless that wealth is used in a meaningful manner. Different people get happiness in different ways. For some, it comes from having a fulfilling job or a satisfying relationship. For others, it could be the ability to deal with life’s challenges with equanimity. Whatever the source, one thing is certain: happiness is an attitude. It is the mindset that enables you to interpret things in a positive way. It is that particular feeling which puts a spring in your step and a smile on your face, for no apparent reason.



It is easy to confuse happiness with pleasure. But the two are not one. Pleasure is intense and as is the nature of all intense emotions, it is transient. Happiness is more enduring though mellow. Pleasure can result from any number of happy experiences. For instance, you get pleasure from eating your favorite chocolate or reading a fantastic book. Take away the experience and pleasure ends. On the other hand, happiness is the aggregate of a number of experiences. Therefore, it cannot be dashed in an instant.

Dreaming of you makes my night worth
While thinking of you just makes me smile
But being with you is the best thing ever
& Loving you is what i'll do forever

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
