The Secret To Happiness
The key to a happy relationship could be accepting that some miserable times are unavoidable.Researchers from California State University, North Ridge and Virginia Tech said that accepting these problems is better than striving for perfection. And they blame cultural fairy tales and modern love stories for perpetuating the myth that enjoying a perfect relationship is possible.”It’s a myth that, with enough effort, we can achieve a state without suffering. Healthcare professionals may not helping the situation. The field of mental health perpetuates this myth with the very concept of mental health, which implies a state without suffering. It was important to explore what people mean by a happy and healthy relationship because nobody’s life or relationship can be in a permanent state of happiness – there will always be more difficult times,” said research team leader Dr (Ms) Diane Gehart, a professor at the university.But this belief can eventually cause people to believe that with enough effort they can eliminate suffering. There is an unrealistic aim in relationships, and striving to achieve it can lead people to feel they have failed. “Couples need to build strengths, such as understanding in their relationships to help them cope in these hard times and appreciate the good times,” Ms Gehart said.

What is the secret to happiness?
Recently, I’ve discovered that the secret to happiness is to generally be happy with all aspects of your life. To do the things that you like and make yourself happy. However, what makes one person happy, might not make another happy. Therefore, the secret is to pursue those things which make you and only you happy. It can be anything as everyone has different abilities, talents, passions, etc. What are your thoughts?

I don’t see how a person can be happy all the time. And only seeking happiness for oneself seems a bit selfish IMO. I think it depends on the person. Personally, I find the secret to happiness is making others happy before finding joy for yourself.

There is no big secret to happiness, we all have the opportunity to be happy, its just we choose to do things that do not make us happy.
To me happiness is about acceptance. I accept who I am, I accept people for who and what they are, not expecting them to be something other than that. And once I have done that, I take my pleasures in the moment, not waiting 10 or 20 years to do something with myself. We enjoy the simple pleasures that having a growing family brings, being grateful for what we have and happy for the success of ours as well as others.

CONTENTMENT. However, since man can never be contented (always seeking better things, not necessarily material, ie, always seeking to be happy) then man can never be eternally happy.

i believe to be happy all the time is a curse, because it kind of loses its impact and meaning… i do believe in attempting a harmonious existence between all living creatures, however i also do think rationally and i know there are several materialistic things that would make me temporarily happy, but nothing more than making other happy will make me feel good and happy about myself

really, i think it has to do with love and self esteem. with love, you’re never alone and always with someone special who makes you happy, and self esteem gives you enough confidence to be able to let yourself have fun. i do not know if you agree or not, but this is my opinion.

counting your blessings
loving every minute of your day
finding the joys in little things
taking a moment out of your life to stop and just be

There is no secret to happiness. Happiness is different for everyone. Most people notice that when they give of themselves and their time to someone else, happiness is returned to them ten-fold. Selfish people cannot really attain true happiness because they are never content, they always need more. There are degrees of happiness: superficial happiness is getting something that you want or going some place that you have always wanted to go. When you get there, you may not be happy. It may be raining or cold or windy. Deeper happiness is gong to that place with someone you love, then you do not care about the weather, you are still happy just to be with that special someone, whether it is a friend, family member or soul mate. Long-term happiness is watching a healthy family grow into adults and become productive citizens, being a healthy adult, having healthy grandchildren, nephews, nieces, etc. If you pursue only what makes you happy, you will be a very lonely person. The key is sharing. You need to rethink your ideas and ideals. Good Luck

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
