How Do You Define Happiness?

Happiness is something we all want, but very few can define it

Would you like to be happy? Yes, of course!

Are you happy? Well, the answers can be many now. It can be all from a strong “Yes” to a “No” with a touch of shame or a modest shyness. Many, maybe the majority, will give answers like, “Maybe,” “I don’t know,” or “who knows.”

This last group of ambiguous responses is quite reasonable for one single and straightforward reason:

No one has told you what happiness really is!

Some experts talk about three different levels of happiness:

Pleasure – it’s the most primitive of happiness and is based on your emotions. It could be sex, drugs, alcohol, music, etc. It’s the most potent type of happiness, as it used to be when your emotions are in motion. But it’s also the happiness that disappears most quickly. Sometimes it can even produce the complete opposite of happiness, as in the case of a painful hangover, after a “happy” party.
Flow – this is when you are highly focused on something productive that you like to do. You can see the results even if a lot of work is involved. Passionate entrepreneurship is a good example of where the happiness of “flow” can frequently be experienced. Most people believe this is the most enjoyable happiness in life.
Meaning – this refers to the sense of belonging to something with a more profound purpose or significance. It could be a connection with different social groups, religious systems, and even political parties.

Happiness Is A Direct Result Of Your Actions

Sounds cool, right? Or does it scare you that your actions will decide if you are going to be happy?

Aristotle confirms this part of the definition of happiness by saying:

“Happiness is a state of activity.”

Create a list of things, events, or activities that will bring you happiness in your life. It’s a tricky task if you take a serious look at it.

When asking people what makes them happy in life, several studies show two things that stick out as number one and two on the list of happiness:

Getting rich and becoming famous.

Did you have any of these two on your list? Don’t worry; you’re not alone.

The good and exciting part of the discussion about happiness is that there exists a survey with the correct answer.

Watch the 12-minute video and get the correct answer. It’s incredible what this 75-year-old Harvard project reveals. To date, this video has garnered over 4 million views. And you’ll understand why.

Robert Waldinger’s research is unique, and what impresses the most is that everybody can be happy. You must take action and pursue your happiness.

According to Waldinger, some positive side effects of “true happiness” include being healthier, experiencing pain more easily, and even having a more resilient brain.

You Can Achieve Happiness In Many Different Ways

As Aristotle so wisely says,

“The happiness you achieve by staying active.”

How many “happy” people do you know, spending all their days sitting at home, every day? They can be temporarily OK, but do you think they are thriving?

Being active often means doing something you’re passionate about or building meaningful connections.

Different researchers support Robert Waldinger and the work his team is doing, and social connections are directly correlated with various positive outcomes.

In Olivier Roland’s article, which reviews the Dalai Lama’s book, The Art of Happiness, the summary is that happiness is the ultimate purpose of all existence.

There may be moments when you temporarily lose touch with life. Still, as long as you are aware of what you need to do about it, you will always have the opportunity to rebuild or reestablish your necessary connections.
