What Does 'Being Happy' Means?

What does it mean to be happy?  Is the happiness you are feeling now true or is it just pretend?  How does one become truly happy?  These questions should be asked by every person trying to find happiness in life.  Happiness is false when one’s happiness causes others to be unhappy.  Happiness is a right and so whatever one’s status in life is, they can achieve it.  Some people believe that they do not deserve to be happy and so they refuse anything that will let them be.  They shy away from people who love them and make them happy and accept it as a fact that they will forever remain unhappy as it is their destiny.  If you are one of these people, wake up! You can be happy by remember to follow the steps below.

1. Know what makes you happy.  Each person has a unique need to achieving happiness.  What makes one happy can be different from others.  Look at your individuality and stop comparing your needs of happiness to that of other people.
2. Make plans as to how you can attain goals that will give you happiness.  Once you do this, your mood will change as you are slowly able to achieve your goals.  You will feel much better within.  This is because you are able to get the things that you value.
