If you ask most people ''what is happiness?'', you'll see that everyone is going to answer you in a different way. For example some will say that they're happy with the purchase of a new car,others are happy 'cause they have in their lives people they love,while others(including myself) are happy when they listen to music,read a book or going out with friends. So we can understand that we cannot give a simple answer to this question. Firstly because as we said,each human finds happiness in many different things or situations. Secondly humans are constructed in a way that they can never be completely happy and satisfied. Many will disagree and say that they have everything in their lives right now and they are happy. I don't dispute. But for how long this happiness is going to maintain? For just a few hours,days or perhaps weeks until they get bored and complain that they are unhappy.
At this point i want to make a distinction. There are several people who are optimistic even if they have gone through hard situations. But that does not mean that they are happy,they are simply strong characters and prefer to face the situations with confidence and smile.
To find happiness first you need to identify the reason that you are unhappy. Maybe it's because of an illness or loss of a partner, friend, etc. Once you identify the reason try to think whether or not you can change it. If it is something which you can then choose to be optimistic and change the situation. If it's not in your hand try to be patient until it's gone because that's the cycle of life. And since you can not change the situation just relax and go ahead as it is in your hand.
Then you should find the thing that offers you joy and happiness. Whether it's an object or a person try to get it. In a sense, happiness is connected with dreams and aspirations. If you can make your dreams come true,automatically you are happy. Fill your days with optimism, smile, love, peace. And remember,when you make one of your dreams come true then you should create another dream,in this way you'll never going to be unhappy because you constantly trying to conquer something, and when you manage to do it then it comes happiness. Finding happiness is to be an everyday fighter,against life,against yourself.
