everyone seeks happiness..what makes people happy?

i think that if they focus on their dreams and work for it, they'll b happy cuz their dreams will come true, right?

for example, a kid's dream is to be sucessful in life, he just have to study, do his best in school and college, then he'll get a job and do his best in that job.

so in few time he'll get a lot of money and be rich cuz he did a good job.

he'll be happy, but he will of course want somethin more.

then more...

so happiness is somethin ppl dont find so easily.

only love and some other few things, but with a lot of love in it, can make someone truly happy.

Folks,

I have been reading a lot of forums and it seems a lot of people are struggling in their pursuit of happiness. In recent times, economists have also started questioning the traditional models of growth and their ability to make people happy.

I think it’s important that we start building a community where the primary goal is to help each other attain happiness.

I searched on the net and came across http://www.myhappiness.com./ It seemed to offer articles about happiness. There seemed to be a concept of a happy online community as well.

Is anyone here aware of something similar? What do other folks think of the idea?

1. Not being abused as a child, a good upbringing is essential to good mental health and happiness.

2. Having enough food to eat.

3. Having a safe place to sleep

4. Having clothes to wear that are not rags.

5. Having a job that make a living wage, IE enough to pay for food rent and health needs.

6. Having a job where the boss and clients are not mean to you. It is hard to be happy when your boss or clients are sadists.

7. Having family and friend(s) that are kind to you. It is hard for people to have happiness when those around you are putting you down.

In my case, I know that regardless of what happened yesterday, last month,years ago or what might happen later, today, tomorrow, or next year. Now, is the only place where happiness can actually be found and experienced.

getting what they think they want

Money, love and sex.
