Happiness

To feel happy is one of the best feelings in the world and it can be caused by many factors. These include getting a new friend, getting a new boyfriend/girlfriend, getting a new family member, seeing your idol, acquiring what you have been longing for, listening to good music, just feeling good, finding out something truly exciting, doing well in school or work, feeling confident, traveling, the list could go on forever. I know that happiness is something everybody wants and some people spend their whole life searching for it, some people find it and some don't. There are many reasons to be happy and I think we all have some, even those people who are pretty miserable can usually feel happy for at least one reason. It is just about being optimistic and trying to see the best that could come out from whatever happens, we can usually see something that is motivation enough to feel happy. Today, for example, I became happy when I realized it was thursday although I thought it was only wednesday. It is a very small thing but just seeing that the week was a little closer to the weekend made my day and made me feel happy. One of the feelings necessary in life is happiness.

Good attitude to have. This is such an interesting topic. One of my favorite websites, TED, had some interesting talks about happiness:
