What is happiness ?

Hello everybody !

Here is an article that I wrote for my English course and I would like to share it with you. It deals with Happiness and says that : "Happiness is a state of mind"

Enjoy it :)

What is Happiness? What does it mean for each of us? Are we happy with our life? Are you happy with what you do?

After having watched a video about “Happiness” posted by one of my friends on Facebook, I realised how difficult it is to define this word.

From my modest position as a student, what could I tell you about happiness? I think each person is happy with different things that depend on their interests and their priorities. But also, the way they look at their capabilities and the way they deal with their relationships and goals in life determine how happy they are.

Actually, how you should be happy depends completely on you. The way you deal with your life, depends on you, yes. Just some basic ideas could be applied to the majority of the humans of this world. So, what I can tell you is that the first step to being happy starts with being sincere with yourself. Yes. This means knowing your priorities in life. The second step is to dare to be happy. Yes. Not only have you to believe in your capabilities, but also, you have to make them true by mobilising your resources. Are you really doing what you like doing?

...Concentrate on your interests and the people that you love. This state of mind will produce its results and there is no better sensation than doing what you like, being surrounded by the people who love you and feeling incredibly indestructible in achieving your goals.

And you... what do you think about Happiness ? :)
