i think happiness comes from two major sources. first and foremost, is self love. next, is love and respect from others. do you feel confident in what u have accomplished most days and have little regrets? if the answer is yes, then u have great potential to be happy. if not, then maybe u need to focus on doing things u like to do and always trying ur best! i never think there is enough time to do what i want to do; this sometimes causes stress, but a certain amount of stress is natural and good for us. now of course, pls keep in mind that nothing in excess is ever good. having stress just signifies that we have goals, ambitions, and dreams. having a healthy mind and healthy body is also key. we cannot always get what we want, but we can always, always try. i have a great family and appreciate all of my friendships (including great friends i meet here in italki). so all this being said, although i do not and cannot feel happy every second of every day... i am most definitely happy and hope that everyone can also share in this wonderful experience ~called happiness! oh smiling and laughing helps too haha! :D best wishes

everything is within your mind,if u want ,happiness will come to u. And life is just like one mirror ,u smile to him ,all the same , he must smile back to u.So do u wanna be happy in ur life.

if your world is based on impossibilities like mine, you can not be happy

in life there are always moments where you feel sad, blue, down.. but there are also times when you are happy, contented and all.. and i can say, that right now, i am happy.. i'm not saying that i don't and won't feel sad.. but i think what's nice to do is that we cherish our lives - every moment of it.. because things just happen once.. you can never bring back what has happened.. and by the time you pass a single moment, and eventually regret it.. you can never change that..

my life it's like a roller coster...it's all ups and downs.
