Happy and you know it

ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY

I don't think so.You can say with certainty that you are having fun;you can even say you are joyful and more or less content.But happy or satisfied with life?Well,you could always be happier.

What is happiness?A spot of joy cannot be termed as happiness.Nor can a spurt of laughter.Fun at a carnival is just that-a bit of fun,not happiness.Thrill at the sight of beloved face is not happiness either.

When you are really happy,a feeling of peace and contentment pervade your being and there's song in your heart,a spring in your step and a glow in your eyes.A happy person spreads happiness,and observe is true as well.have you noticed how people always welcome those who smile and laugh easily,but how they shy away from depressed souls?

Happiness is a state of mind that has less to do with changing external circumstances and more to do with your innerself.In a global happiness survey,the USA came very down 23rd in the list of countries!So acquisition of wealth and possessions doesn't pave the way to happiness,it seems.the most successful people are not necessarily the ones whose hearts sing the loudest.

Is it possible to engineer happiness for oneself?Some expert say that happinessis embedded in our genes;one survey even proves that happiness depends on geography!Did you know that danish are the happiest people in the world?They lead a very balanced life between work and home;most of them leave office by 4:30 pm,use an excellent transport system and send there children to wonderful schools.Danes are very happy with their govt.,what with 37 hrs a week,52 weeks maternity/paternity leave,hig unemployment benefits and absolutely safe streets.To top it,Danes take a very realistic view of life and have low expectations.

People are happiest when close to their loved ones,when they are in good health and when their expectations aren't very high.This doesn't mean a lack of ambition,but a certain amount detachment.All of us look for a state of equilibrium ,a balanced life and for self sufficiency.

Happy people are also more optimistic and more in control of their lives.They have better relationships with friend and family,better marriages.they seem to realise that deep,caring relationships are an important stepping stone in the pursuit of happiness.
