Happiness is at least partly being in the present moment and not weighed down by unnecessary worry. Contentment must be with the past and that's tougher.

Peace and quiet.

Balance. Balance in work, play, rest, and good health.

By getting closer to The Original Essence of Measure and avoiding The Entropy and Chaos. Everything is relative, and each level has the same struggle between The Original Essence of Measure and The Entropy

Happiness is a string of moments, not a state of being since happiness is fleeting. To me happiness is spending time doing things that bring me joy, with people that bring me joy. Add to that a job that gives me purpose, and voila! Seems like a simplistic view of happiness but there are things that complicate this simple formula. Responsibilities, taxes, politics, identity, the list goes on. We can use Maslow's hierarchy of needs to extrapolate a lot of things that get in the way of happiness. But to keep this one short, the only way to get closer to happiness is to do something about your current situation.

I'm working on this. I'll let you know. The only thing I am certain of right now is that happiness is not found in manufactured food and chemicals parading around as food.

Get rid of ego and desire. I want happiness. Take out "I" and "want" and you're left with "happiness".

You don’t.

My daughter.

By aligning thoughts, words and actions

Wanting what you already have and making progress. If today is better than yesterday we will have grown and in growth there is progress.

By turning your attention to other things.

Doing what puts you in flow on a day to day basis, feeling like your mind is challenged, surrounding yourself with good people, and having a balance of what your time is spent on.

Belly rubs, warm sunny spots, and zero responsibility.

It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.

I feel safe in the midst of my enemies, for the truth is all powerful and will prevail.

I want to be able to be alone, to find it nourishing - not just a waiting.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World - he that has these two, has little more to wish for - and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

In soup. See questions before.

Through complete and constant awareness, attention, and conscious union with the infinite.

Purrmobiles go vroom.

Life is a filthy river we swim in towards our end. We have two kinds of happiness - hopeless surrender to the filthy current or hard learning to fulfill oneself.

Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you're in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot. Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Work and play, balanced as best as possible.

Find gratitude, even if the gratitude is only that you can understand the concept.

Skiing in fresh powder in the morning mountain air.

I'm always looking, trying to realize my highest potential as I feel it to be, which makes me miserable most of the time. Then, in an odd moment, there is transient sensation of blessedness.

I am building a brain.

I worry constantly about my children. This technique does not work.

There is no happiness. There is joy, satisfaction, laughter or feeling happy. All we can do is to concentrate on situations in which we react with such emotions. Happy emotions are our brain rewards for ourselves. This could be destructive.

Happiness can be found in all enjoyable things. Happiness is temporary and fleeting. It is relevant but not transcendent to satisfaction.

By focusing on the good and letting go of the bad. Because there will always be bad trying to drag you down, if you let it. And good is always waiting to be discovered.

You have been born with your own happiness, it may be hidden in you, try to restore it.

When I was young it was pretty easy and faster - good books, a quiet place to read, companionship, sex, beer for self-medication, learning. 

Happiness exists like all components of the universe in itself and it is part of your nature and it just has to express itself and it is found.

Be knowing that happiness is not anything that is to be found. It is, and exists in every moment. The greatest thing that hinders our happiness is our mind telling us that we need something else to be happy.

Between unhappiness.

To live without expectations although with full attention to the present.

Momentary happiness is found in giving, gratitude, enjoying the present. Long-term fulfillment is found in creation, having impact, feeling significant, and being true to oneself.

Being true to our nature. The difficult thing is finding out what our nature is.

Stop searching for it and practice free will, if it exists that is. But mostly, spend time doing what you enjoy and with people who make you laugh. A major key to finding happiness is cutting out drama.

Meditation and mindfulness in a broad sense. Searching for the heart of gold. Your own. Fighting to be good and dancing along.

I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with.

By doing something I love because I love it, not because it takes me toward some other goal.

By balancing the thoughts in your mind with the actions of your body. A steady mind is a happy mind.

Don't look for it. Be yourself and let happiness find you.

When we realize that searching for it is pointless, for it's not the circumstances, but the approach that allows us to obtain happiness. Life is not a quest, it simply is, we may choose to smile with along or to keep struggling in a rat race.

Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold. The feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

First you have to know and understand yourself. All you have is this life. You are responsible for your life. So don't let others tell you what to do, don't be afraid of messing up or embarrassing yourself. Find love, find what you love to do.

You have to love yourself.

With effort and intention of love, curiosity and gratitude, the results exceed expectations. It is transient, subjective and trainable. Practice to become happiable- ready for happiness.

Traveling through life with intention but without expectation. Balancing my ambition for the future and my musings on the past with living in the present moment.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination.

At the end of a unique spiritual journey.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
