What things in life make you happy?

Spending time with family/friends- gives me the warm/fuzzy feelings
Sleeping- oddly enough I yearn to fall into my bed and drift into sleep during the day
Enjoying food- good food/drink always pleases my cravings
Getting exercise- perhaps the endorphins play a part but I feel wonderful after a vigorous run
Getting work done- knowing I did a good job in something or completing a big project makes downtime that much more sweet
Browsing the web- just like this website, I love to read all sorts of articles and look at pictures from around the world

How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?

Well, for me, the reality is, things don't make me happy. In other words I have not given the privilege to anything or anyone to be in charge of my happiness.Things don't make you happy, can't make you happy. It's you who can make and keep yourself happy, irrespective of what things you have, had, done or achieved.Real happiness is a state of mind and it is not dependent on possession of things.If someone is looking for happiness in some specific things and someone else on some other things, then both of them are looking at the wrong direction. Majority of things will make you more sad than few of them making you happy.

Why there are certain things that make you happy but don’t make everyone happy?

Let us all revisit one of the adolescence stories that we all have read at some point of time. I am broaching to the classic evergreen stories like Hare and the Tortoise, Monkeys and the Cap seller, The Shepherd boy and the wolf and many more.Even if you haphazardly pick any of the stories, there will always be one common facet among them and that will be what exactly your question is about. Yes, there are indeed Certain things that make us happy but does the converse for others.As a citation, In the hare and Tortoise story, the tortoise's fragility of being slow made it unhappy but the hare loved it.Why? Do you think the hare was not a compassionate being and had a flawed character who loved to laugh and enjoy other's weaknesses. Well, we can never be sure about that. Can we? But yes, there is one thing that can be easily inferred that when other's feebleness helps you in getting close to your target it definitely leaves you beaming and naturally it will make the other person melancholic because they feel their dreams are about to get devastated.All human beings are different and so are their objectives in life and if anything takes you closer to your goal, it mysteriously takes others away from theirs. So you see, how your happiness is inversely proportional to others happiness. SIMPLE MATHEMATICS IT WAS. :)

How come the things that make me happy dosent make everyone happy?

Everyone has has his/her own taste, like some like rock music some pop, some like talking more some are introvert, some like playing cricket some football..So, what makes you happy doesn't mean it’ll make everyone happy..But yeah, you don't need to compromise your happiness to please everyone.. You should continue doing things which make you happy, provided, it doesn't hurt others..

Is it true that some things make you happy and sometimes they don't make any sense?

I think the feeling of happiness is somehow related to our moods .When we are in good mood we are happy with everything ,and suddenly the world is a great place to be in. But if you are in a bad mood ,even the things that normally make you happy will appear dull and lifeless and make no sense at all. Our moods are connected to the thoughts and feelings that are currently in operation within us ,and therefore our thoughts and feelings need to be dealt with and converted in our favour ,to generate a healthy mood ,to feel happy . When you are in a good mood ,and someone surprises you your with your favourite chocolate ,you will be thrilled ,but if you are in a bad mood , with overwhelming thoughts and feelings occupying the mind ,the same surprise will not make any sense .Happiness is a state of mind ,mood is also a state of mind , so we need to synchronise our moods with our positive thoughts and feelings ,and happiness will naturally flow into us from within.

If material things don't make us happy, then what is the secret to lasting happiness?

Having meaningful relationships with like minded people. Getting answers to the meaning of life.

What do you choose, the wrong thing that makes you happy or the right thing but doesn't make you happy?

Your question makes it clear you're struggling, and seeking guidance rather than plowing forward blindly with a decision. Good for you!The wrong thingIf you choose the “wrong thing” with full awareness that it's wrong for you or another, then you're likely to encounter feelings of guilt and remorse. The more you fret over the guilt the greater the likelihood that it will evolve into shame.Guilt as a feeling is a valuable wake-up call. It serves as a reminder of the fact that you made a bad choice, and perhaps you had better go back and try to remedy things in one way or another.Shame is far more toxic. It is often triggered by ignoring the message that guilt is reminding you of. In other words, you are deliberately repressing. Shame damages your self-esteem - potentially long-term - by establishing a belief at your core that you are what you did. “I am a liar". “I am not trustworthy”. “I am a cheater”. Or whatever the inner message your guilt may lead to.As an example:Say you make a choice to have an affair because you're having difficulties with your spouse; and your potential paramour seems to offer more romance and sensitivity.Your guilt will further the chasm with your spouse. It will lead to avoiding eye contact, and avoiding conversation with him or her and perhaps your children; along with extreme discomfort. If you continue on, you'll eventually adopt the shame-based idea that you're not trustworthy. This idea will negatively affect the degree you're able to open your heart to love (by anyone); it literally hardens your heart. It may inform your actions in the future. When another challenging choice arises, it's easier to take the trust-busting route because that's who you feel you have become. Which, of course, proves the belief, further deepening the hit to your self-esteem.Carrying shame or guilt is not consistent with happiness; and so it's highly unlikely the wrong choice will “make you happy”.It is trading off your long-term wellbeing for a short-term stimulant.On the other handDoing the right thing in a difficult situation is never easy. But here is the payoff: following your moral compass in such instances reinforces your self-esteem; and further develops your character as a good person, capable of making tough choices consistent with your morals.Good luck making the best choice for you.Namaste!

Alcohol the only thing that makes me happy. ?

Alcohol has done nothing but cause misery for those that abuse it and those that they have close contact with. I come from a family with a long history of alcohol and drug abuse. You are in denial by saying how much you love to drink. You are using it as a crutch to help you with your problems. You must try harder to achieve your goals. Answers are out there. Sometimes they are just harder to find for some people than others. Please seek help for your alcohol problem, even if you do not think that you have one.
