What is happiness?
I have been watching this show about happiness. What makes people happy. And it boils down to three things I understand. We need something to do, someone to love and something to look forward to.
I think there is a lot to this "truth". I like the fact that it is not specific. And I don't believe it is "someone" to love. For some of us it is "someones". But something to look forward to appeals to me. Future is the name of the game somehow. To dream, to have a vision, to have a goal.
Yes, very good stuff!

I love that! And you are right..it doesn't have to be a "one" someone..it could be someones..good friends do it for me! Something to do..got it...someones to love..got them to. Something to look forward to..definitely! So..I guess I'm covered in the happiness department.
See! Why spend loadsa money on a shrink when you can get it all for free here on the blog :).
And it makes me happy to know you are happy!
we had a show about how to be happy here too, it said pretty similar things. Also a lot about 'positive psychology' and not letting negative thoughts get to you, being kind to others and forgiving those who did you wrong.
My only problem with the something to look forward to one is that I tend to spend a lot of time looking forward to things in the future instead of being happy now, living in the moment.
