Pursuit of Happiness

Happiness 

We humans are always in search of peace and happiness. As there are different meanings to the term "love" so is for happiness. For few, earning lots of money is happiness. For some, fulfilling their dreams is happiness. For some, having their loved one's smiling is happiness and so on.

There are many aspects of happiness. All people desire to have them and those who work with their full potential are able to achieve them. But some give up their hopes on the way. 

All we human have is the result of our deeds. If we are sad, it might be that we haven't worked enough. Our happiness might be because of our good deeds. All our life all we want is happiness for ourselves, for our loved one's, for family etc. but don't think of working hard. For the ultimate happiness, working hard is equally important. A potter tries very hard to present a perfect pot, a craftsman works very hard to bring out the most of a design. 

All of them work hard as they realize happiness isn't simply granted, it is earned. In the hard pace of life, running for the artificial satisfaction, we have forgot to live for ourselves. Happiness is living for ourselves, fulfilling our desires, getting our dreams fulfilled. Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

 In addition to making us feel good, studies have found that happiness actually improves other aspects of our lives. Here is an overview of some of the good stuff that research has linked to happiness.

• Happiness is good for our health: Happy people are less likely to get sick, and they live longer.
• Happiness is good for our relationships: Happy people are more likely to get married and have fulfilling marriages, and they have more friends.
• Happy people make more money and are more productive at work.
