If you have not taken the time to define what happiness means to you, what have your spent your whole life pursuing?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This happiness consisted of nothing else but the harmony of the few things around me with my own existence, a feeling of contentment and well-being that needed no changes and no intensification.
I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.
Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.
True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
When you analyze happiness, it turns out that the way you spend your time is extremely important.
I'm happy quite a lot of the time. I've done far more than I ever thought I would have, so I'd be very hard-pressed to walk around miserable.
Happiness is determined by factors like your health, your family relationships and friendships, and above all by feeling that you are in control of how you spend your time.
There are things that are more important than my personal happiness.
Happiness means nothing to me. I just want to have meaning and purpose.
I had a handle on satisfaction, and I loved my career, but I didn't really know what happiness was. So I started on this quest to have a happy life.
