Normally try to do some rest, connect myself more with my lord (helps me get more meditated and re energized) and focus on how much work needs to be done and how much I am left behind if I want to die feeling satisfied that I have achieved something for the Man Kind...
I am agree with dear @Shaban that meeting friends make us happy, and to dear @Andras, and dear @Bonga we like to be in the society of honest and interesting people by chatting with dear friends and visiting leisure places, as well.
I sincerely agree with dear @Michael that like travelling and whilst listening to music, while inhale the aroma and coffee
Moreover, to dear @Douglas, my happiness is being with my long time friends on a beautiful day playing a stakes game of golf as well
To @Mohamed, I am agree that happiness is all about Peace, Love, and no poverty and no hunger.
Nevertheless, to dear @Arif, I am agree that some time I take a rest and share myself with the Lord
However, I humbly proud to you all. What a great friend you are...;)
Dear @Roland, I fully agree with you that good health is one thing that make us happy as well as you mentioned before that we are happy when what we think, what we say, and what we do are in harmony
Dear@Arar, I really like your suggestion that happiness is good health, I ad, because if we health, we can do anything or go anywhere
Dear@Darko, I proud with your philosophy that you always optimistic
Dear@Eraldo, I also agree with your suggestion that being in a good mood is happy
Dear@Mohamed, i also agree with your keyword "Kindness", I endorse that
Happiness is for me not related with leisure time, most of all I'm happy when I see a co-incidence, in relationship with someone or something. For occurring synchronicity, indeed a certain degree of freedom and independencyis needed.
What a wonderful time you get, and I wish that I get the same thing like you are one day........
You seem like a freedom as your main happiness. Sometimes, I would be happy when I saw my friend get their success, because I know their sacrifice as well.....
I am glad to hear that you always be happy what ever you are, and I learn many things about it from you. It seems not only me or you who sometimes get the bad and good times. It is great to have so many good friend on the RG, and I am happy to on getting you are happy on the RG. Have a nice week end!
I fully agree ............ Factually, it is true that the family makes us happy in our lives are.......
Moreover, the purpose of life is not to be happy, it is more on to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate and I add it ..........to be care to our friend .... I endorse that.
Dear @Darko
What a nice philosophy, it is true ................., and I always try to have positive thinking...
Dear @ Roland
It is true that happiness is all within our thinking and it affects our sustains relation and interaction. It is so impressive!
Dear @Rita
You are right, we are happy with a lam, born shortly after Easter.............
First of all, I humbly to say that I am happy because I have so many sincerely colleagues as you are !
I can only say that happiness does derive within a social group. Having not had the family many of you speak of nor being the family man some are I have formed a "family" with friends and colleagues from around the world.
This is indeed what makes that sunny day on the golf course so much the same weather in Spain, Japan, Mexico or my home course in Santa Cruz California. It is the family of people in my life that makes such days not only possible but fill my memories with joy.
I strongly agree with you that we actually have to form a "family" with friends and colleagues from around the world.
This indeed makes our lives more beautiful, meaningful, and makes us happy, such as you has been to fill your life with playing golf in Spain, Japan, Santa Cruz California who has filled your memories with joy............. How wonderful life is............
"Living is like being chained at the bottom of a shallow pond with my eyes open and no air. I can see distorted images of happiness and light, even hear muffled laughter, but everything is out of my reach as I lie in suffocating agony. If death is the opposite of living, then I hope death is like floating."
"That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your mind; don't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life."
"Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy."
