Happiness is a choice, but I believe it is also an emotion.

I am happy to have been led to this website. I aim to improve my podcasting ability. This site has made me very happy and hopeful.

I am also always very happy for Truth and Love.

I would love to be interested in helping people no matter what situations they are in. The most important thing in life is to genuinely show that you love and care for people irrespective of their creed, colour, or race.In helping others, you are being helped in some way or another.If everyone cares for everyone without being selfish, then the world would be a better place to live in.

I agree that happiness is not something to be pursued, rather it is something that we must cultivate from within. If the world can give it, then the world can also take it away. Find the joy in your heart and you can be happy regardless of your current circumstances.

Three percent of the world’s population (check snopes and wikipedia - do not trust the ninja) are naturally happy. Money or good health apparently have nothing to do with it. Just gobs and gobs of serotonin jumping from neuron to neuron I imagine. For the rest of us happiness is choice. And for everything else - of course - there’s mastercard.

Not to diminish any of the other comments, but we women are famous for believing that doing for others makes us happy - that going within and finding our inner strength and loving ourselves are the keys. The menz don’t have to bother with all that because at any age, a red sports car and a looker on their arm is sufficient to make them happy. They really know how to live in the moment don’t they? (at least 3% of them anyway). I kind of like being a curmudgeon - that’s what makes me happy.

I LOVE what you had to say about money. I’m going to begin that process of spending/saving/investing. I am also going to begin each day with what I am happy and grateful for.

Thank you for your words…they really jump-started my day.

As for getting healthy and staying motivated, check out what a group of us Nashville women did. Maybe you would like to join the next group in August!

the happiness I am choosing is to believe n myself and the ability I have to start my own business!

I’m happy about the wonderful gift we all have at our fingertips: to go within.

When I go within, and seek to know my purpose, the still, small voice provides direction, confirmation of a choice well made, or confusion when a choice isn’t the right one.

I’m incredibly grateful–and happy–that I can navigate my purpose from the inside, instead of having to find on the outside in the flurry of a hectic world.

The sound of my cat lapping water makes me happy. Drinking tea in the morning while writing and writing and writing. Singing well. Dancing in the kitchen. Learning new things. Doing nothing. Getting a new gig. A date with a friend. Tony Bennett. Discovering new music or a new artist. Abraham-Hicks. The sound of donkeys braying. Buying makeup.
