Are you truly happy?

                        Nobody can define happiness for anyone else. We all have our own meaning to  happiness. For me, it's doing what I love with the people that bring out the best in me. I have realized that people describe themselves as happy when they get a car, gift, good grades or achieve something great. They feel happy for that moment, but later on in the day they are dreading something, mad at someone or just upset. In reality they are not happy, they just felt happy for a moment. Happiness should be a long term thing such as living a good life, rather than an emotion.

    I really like how you said "Happiness should be a long term thing". It makes me realize just how many things we take for granted.

    Well said!! I think you are onto something here, Annette, especially at the end of your post. I think you will hear some of the "happiness experts" say very similar things when we watch "The Happy Movie" in class.
