Psychology
Happiness is such a confusing thing - the more we try to find it, the more complicated it gets. I used to think that happiness would wait for me and find me once I was "perfect". Today, I'm not surprised that I haven't achieved either. So I made it my mission to examine the mystery of happiness in detail. Over the past few years, I've asked many people, in a wide variety of life stages - and cycles - the question, "How do you define happiness?" Thinkers, scientists, entrepreneurs and creatives have revealed their answers, and each of them has said and told something completely different. Happiness has been defined as anything from accepting life for what it is, to feeling content, connected, accomplishing things, being in the flow, spending time with family or in nature... To me, happiness is living in truth - or as Ghandi once said, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." And how would you answer the question? Since happiness seems to mean something different to each of us - how can we find simple ways to experience more of it? To feel more of it? For this article, I define "being happy" as a feeling of joy, love and wonder!
