Sure.. I will step into this one..

Happiness is a feeling based on your circumstances. Nobody is "happy" forever.. there are other equally important feelings in your life experience that need their space too.. even sadness and grief is essential to a well rounded life.

If you mean in a relationship, commitment requires that there are challenging times that do not make one "happy".. those can be opportunities for you to grow closer.

you may be able to find contentment and peace. Hopefully you find someone worth committing too and have the security that they share your commitment.

I suspect it's more rewarding to seek fulfillment rather than fun and peace rather than happinesss. Happiness is much better when the feeling occurs as a byproduct of a positive attitude and successful life. Of course, I am only a coach and certainly no expert on this. Just my thoughts or rambles if you prefer. :)

Various responses dependent upon each individual experience...


My favorite:

Do not depend upon others for your own happiness. Tis not their responsibility.

Life doesn't work that way.
Emotions don't work that way.

Happiness (Joy) is an emotional extreme just like depression (sad).
I strive to be content, even then, contentment has shades of happiness...or sadness in it.

For the most part, I rate myself as in perpetual contentment slightly shaded to happiness.
I have more expressions of joy than I do sadness.
I rarely feel angry but I can feel the shade of anger in my contentment sometimes.

I've met a lot of people that think they need to be happy all the time. They are miserable most of the time. They are ruled by emotional extremes.
They exist in a perpetual state of misery. They can only enjoy life when they are expressing happiness and since happiness is a fleeting emotional state, they are miserable most of the time.
I know this because I was that way.

It takes self-discipline to establish emotional maturity.
An optimistic 'view' on life helps too.
Its a matter of switching from "negative" to "positive" anticipation and adjusting priorities.
You put away the worry and live in the moment.
Its hard at first but it gets easier.

Your own happiness is all on you. You may find people, places or situations that give you temporary happiness in the moment. But you can’t depend on this during hard times.

True and lasting happiness comes from within. Being okay with being unhappy, angry or restless at times can be as much a part of being happy with your life as the beautiful and joyous moments life gives us at other times.

Happiness is a choice we make to accept all our emotions and feel at peace with them. We need to cry and laugh, brood and feel contented in all of our lives or we wouldn’t know when to appreciate the good over the bad.

In the end, I believe happiness is a choice we make to be okay, come what may. If you’re experiencing a rough time, examine the good in your life and choose to be happier about having food on your table and a roof over your head more than you’re upset about the ding in your car bumper or the medical bill sitting on your desk.

Choosing happy doesn’t happen on its own. It’s an art that must be practiced. The better you become in the art of happiness, the easier it is to concentrate on fixing the problems life throws at you, because those problems are more easily recognized as just a part of life and not the whole. They are less overwhelming when your perspective is ruled from a state of peace and happiness.

This was not meant to be a sermon, but I believe strongly in this notion. It’s gotten me through some very bad times when I could have easily crumbled instead.

Are you implying that you can make someone else 'feel' happy?

People's emotions are personal.
There is no way you can MAKE someone else 'feel' anything.
Its something they have to do on their own.

Happiness is within you,
The way you let it/express it,
Not everyday/everyone is the same or in same status of mindset...
Its upto us how we deal it.

I think you have to punch holes in the box to give it air, and once in awhile it needs something to eat...
