Happiness is the one feeling everyone desires to have it.
There is no perfect definition of happiness, and the meaning of it differs from one person to other. However, this feeling is often assumed as the connection between our satisfaction on what we are doing and how good we are feeling now. I categorize happiness into two, short time happiness, which lasts for few days or so. For example, if you get promoted in your job, you will be at cloud nine at the moment, but the happiness vanishes soon after you get another problem. The other kind of happiness is long-term, which can also be defined as meaningful or authentic happiness. This type of happiness lasts long, and I am going to share few tip to spur your happiness.
Know your strengths and find your purpose
You may work for living. Many people work for money so that they can survive, which is not wrong. But sometimes, for example, a person wanted to be an engineer but end up working at bank. He may not be satisfied with what he is doing. Happiness comes from satisfaction. If you are not feeling the job from your heart and you feel it is hard to do the job, you may wish to start a part-time job that is close to your heart. After getting better exposure on the job, you can quit and do the job you always wanted to do. This exactly happened to me five years ago. I took it as a challenge and worked hard. Now I can say I am happy and satisfied.
Happiness doesn’t come with money, but offering things to needy makes you happy
We have been listening to that money doesn’t make you happy. But I feel money is the active medium to make many people happy around the world. If you give money to needy, you will be happy right. The feeling of this happiness is the real example of authentic happiness. Offering essential things to needy is what we get a massive amount of happiness that stays long. You don’t have to give a million to people; you can wish to provide a small percentage of your salary to the needy to get long-lasting happiness.
Feel grateful for what you have and don’t compare yourself to others
Wake up early in the morning feeling thankful for what you have. You may have people around you, and you may have a certain degree, or you may have hands and legs. Whatever you have with you, feel grateful for it. This kind of realistic, optimistic feeling will enable your positive thinking and make you happier throughout the day. And you can appreciate someone for their work, or you can praise someone that they look good . If you create a positive environment, you will be happy forever.
Great tips!

Good words! Happines is an actitude!
If you truly want to be happy, immerse yourself in the oceanic depths of the present. Be nothing but pure presence. Watch the world around you change.
As said by someone, "Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions."
Nice post and great overlook, thanks.

There are 3 kinds of happiness. 1. Material Happiness 2. Hobby Happiness and 3. Spiritual Happiness. Material happiness can easily achieve with drinks, tobacco, and coffee. Too often those material become an unhealthy addiction. We can't feel peace without those chemicals. Hobby happiness coming from skills we develop over our lifetime such as painting, music or flower arrangement. Finally, when we identify we are not just ourself but the entire community and begin selfless giving and serving. For those who tasted spiritual happiness, they will never want to go back for the material happiness anymore. Once you can eat at a 5 stars restarnat, you will never want to go back to McDonald.
