Is there such a thing as true happiness? If so, how do you achieve it?

I think that it is out there.  And I think you can get it by surrounding yourself with people that you love and just trying your best to be a good person :)

~yes, and it seems like it's been in every way possible - some days more than others. But, I do my best to be happy in spite of it. I just prefer to be happy - but who doesn't, right?

I think smiling is something magic. Sometimes can be all, sometimes is the only action you are waiting from anybody. I hope you always find a way to smile and be happy.

If you believe that you will never be happy then you will never allow yourself to be happy and always doubt what you have. If we look at what is good in our current situation instead of all that is lacking we will feel better. A lot of happiness is controlling how the negative things effect us and rising above it.

Depending on what the system defined as happy.  Would individuals still have free will or be pumped solid with endorphins to produce euphoric and continual "happiness"?  Would we still search for meaning?  True happiness would be a realm where we ceased to suffer.  If we are not continually intellectually and emotionally satisfied then we suffer, no matter what the setting.

The only thing I can say to you is that you have to find joy in the small things that happen. A beautiful flower or sunset, hearing a child laugh, a kindness done for you by another person. If you wait around for the "big things" to bring you joy - ie; winning the lottery, marrying rich, becoming a movie star - you won't ever be happy because those things just don't "happen" in real life. Okay, sometimes they do, but rarely, ya know? Sometimes it's going to be a minute to minute thing, but you have to make yourself look for something positive, make yourself find one thing that makes you happy - even for just a minute. I know.

If you don't stop projecting happiness as "something more" or some "place" you have to get to, you will wake up one day in your 80's, if you live that long, still wanting more and still not knowing "true happiness."  \n\nHappiness is found in taking the time to enjoy the simplicity of life - which is where you can find joy every single day.  Happiness is found when you are still, when you stop to really see - people, flowers, the sky...or just enjoy the sounds of everyday, thankful that you can see and hear and taste and smell.  \n\nWhat are you thankful for?  Do you wake up and think of those things?  Who do you love and who loves you?  How do you feel knowing you are loved?  How do you feel when you give to others?\n\nThere is no formula or instructions or things you have to "do" to be truly happy.  To be truly happy you have to learn to love yourself in all the stages of your life.  It doesn't mean you won't know disappointment or sadness or hurt.  It means that inspite of these things you know that you are "perfectly" you, a human being with all of the imperfections we all have, yet magnificent at the same time.  When you learn to enjoy something that you normally take for granted - like the first breath you take when you wake up in the morning to a new day - you will know what "happiness" means.

if you are happy in your life all the time, you will loose the value of it . we know what happiness is after facing the sorrows if their is no sorrow then happiness doesn't have it's value so try to appericiate sorrow and u will understand the true joy

I do not believe it is Always possible to stay Positive and happy. But I do believe that if you try to do at least one thing a day that makes you feel good about you that will help. Whenever an event happens that makes you sad you should try to do or find something to make that situation a wee bit better.Try to figure something about that situation that will make you feel a tiny bit better(if there isn't anything try to think about something you may be able to that in itself will help ?

To tell you the truth I don't know if you can be happy every day of your life. Certainly not every moment. \n Keeping a positive attitude, knowing that things will be better when they are bad, knowing things could be so much worse. Having a special someone in your life that you love and loves you back. Well those are the things that keep me happy most days. But I am not perfect and the world isn't perfect so I take what I can get and make the best of it.

The meaning of true happiness would be knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and growing strong in your relationship with Him. My joy and peace come from Christ Jesus. Knowing that you have eternal life in Him brings true happiness.

Well, that depends on your definition of "the good things in life."  The good things in life can come from just being and doing, not buying.  It's truly all a state of mind.  Being happy and content with what you have, and not always wanting more, can make a person happy.  Of course, it's human nature to always want more; and when we see so many material things in front of us all the time (magazines, tv, etc.), it's easy to get in the trap of always wanting more, more, more.  I'm not trying to be hypocritical here, because I'm the same as everyone out there, I love nice things too.  I've just found over time however, that I can be just as happy having less, as opposed to having more.  Does that make any sense?
