Genuine pleasure is a lasting characteristic. There is no cause or rationale for the contentment and peace that exist within. It's always there at the core of our existence. This is referred to as "happiness without a cause or purpose."
When we are born, we begin life with nothing and have no previous experiences to base our sense of happiness on. So we develop goals and dreams that drive us to seek out new experiences and achieve things that make us feel good about ourselves.
The more we do this, the better we understand what makes us happy and the more options we have in choosing how to live our lives. Some people find success in life by achieving great things materialistically, but others find satisfaction coming from helping others or making a difference in society. Either way, happiness comes from inside us and cannot be taken away.
The first location where happiness may be found is in our own homes. We are happiest when we are with our family, which includes our parents, spouse, children, and grandkids. They are, in reality, our source of power and inspiration. A peaceful home life brings us happiness—happiness that we actually value and treasure.
Homes can also be a source of misery. If you live in a dirty, unhealthy home, it will make you unhappy. If you have no home of your own but instead stay in hotels or with friends, that too can be unpleasant. Finally, a broken home causes severe emotional pain and requires very strong emotions to overcome.
Second on the list is our work. If we like what we do and feel as if it makes a difference, then we are working on something important and fulfilling. Even if we hate our jobs, we can still find some measure of satisfaction in them if they provide us with an income and allow us to contribute to society.
If we don't like what we do, there are many alternatives. We could start a business, take up a hobby, join a community organization, learn a new skill...the list goes on and on. There is always something else out there that we can do or try. The only limit is our imagination.
Finally, we can look outside ourselves for happiness.
Happiness is that sensation you get when you realize your life is going well and you can't help but grin. It is the polar opposite of sorrow. Happiness is defined as a feeling of well-being, joy, or satisfaction. People are happy when they are successful, safe, or lucky.
Happiness cannot be explained by science, because it is a subjective experience. However, psychology has some things to say about how we become happier. Studies have shown that people who follow their passions and take action to improve their lives are more likely to feel happy.
People look for happiness in different places. Some look within themselves and try to find the reason for their suffering or the source of their joy. They ask questions such as "Why am I born into this world?" and "What is the purpose of my life?" Others search for happiness in external sources such as family, friends, or money. They might ask questions like "Who is responsible for my happiness?" or "Is society happy?"
Science has not found any evidence that could answer these questions, but it has helped us understand how people think and what makes them happy.
Humans are social animals, and being with people is what makes many of us happy. There's a biological basis behind this: when you feel significant or respected by others around you, serotonin levels rise. That's why feelings of love and belongingness lead to happiness.
Happiness also comes from achieving goals you believe in, making a difference in the world, and living life to the fullest. When you reach out to others, share your feelings, and give without expecting anything in return, you're using your brain's dopamine system. This feeling of satisfaction leads to happiness.
Happiness can also come from overcoming obstacles. If you experience failure, but learn from it and don't let it discourage you, you will be able to move on and find success.
Finally, happiness can be achieved through pleasure-seeking behaviors such as drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, using drugs, and eating sugar. These actions increase the level of natural chemicals in your body that make you feel good about yourself and the world around you.
People often say that they want to be happy, but that doesn't mean that they know how to go about it. Happiness is a state of mind that can be experienced at any time, even during difficult circumstances. It does not depend on your situation but on how you view it.
