Joy and happiness is what we all search for, but the real question is what exactly happiness is. Do we all have our own personal definition of happiness that we live by. This article explains what others believe happiness to be and what you should think of happiness being for you in your daily life to achieve happiness. (Image by aussiegall via Flickr)
The society we live in is a society that has been oppressed by what others believe being happy to be rather than what we think it is. We try to meet these standards that society has put out there as being happy rather than finding what we think being happy is.
Society has manufactured some of us to not know what happiness really is and we seek out ways to try to become happy by spending our money to do so.
And, what is happiness, anyway?
Feeling a sense of satisfaction and delighted mentally is happiness.
This definition is just a generic definition and there is more to what can make people happy. We all have our own definition of happiness, so I'd like to share with you mine:
Happiness: a timeless state of contentment due to embracing the control you have over your state of mind.

We must stay on our intended course of happiness which we get internally, rather than happiness that we can get externally such as going to your favorite bands concert. These types of things are short lived.
Happiness is not dependent on what the number on the scale says or whether you get that promotion at work or marry your college crush. Happiness is the ability to recognize and be okay with the fact that you won't always feel -- well -- happy. Sometimes things don't work out. Sometimes we screw up. Sometimes, truly terrible things happen. If you can allow yourself to experience negative emotions, you will recognize that temporarily feeling bummed out about life's small and sometimes large disappointments are natural and do not have to permanently distract or define you.
The only person that really can define your happiness is you. You are the one holding the reigns to your happiness.
