Happiness - What THEY Say!

by Steve M Nash

What follows is not as much a happiness list but a definition of happiness from a variety of sources - a list of happiness definitions, so to speak!

I'm not sure if, when we define happiness, that that helps any of us find happiness, but still...

The Dalai Llama says...

"The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy."
(Find more inspirational happiness quotes here!)

"Happiness is everywhere you choose to find it." Well, at least that's what I think Gretchen (of the Happiness Project) is trying to say in her inspirational video called The Bus Ride Movie

"Happiness is emotion in which one experiences feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy." Hmm, thank you WikiPedia

"Finding true happiness and self-actualization starts with our tips to help you find happiness from within. We will help you on your quest for personal growth" Hmm, that's what The Happy Guy has to say, so I guess he must know something about the meaning of happy-ness.

Any more for any more?

Well, why don't you share your feelings now on what happiness means to you?

Thanks,
Steve
