The Key to Happiness My life is probably a very normal and “happy” life in the eyes of most people. I live in a nice house with and awesome family. I have a lot of things and money I can use to spend and save. I have a job and friends that I love. I have four cats as well. What else do I need to be successfully happy? When am I really happy? Well, maybe if I had a nicer vehicle I might be even happier or maybe a couple million dollars in my bank account. Is that really gonna make me happy? To answer this we need to answer that with question; “What is happiness?”

But, again there is a limit.
If you are going to do hard work, make it fun and enjoyable. There is no reason why you can’t have fun while working or studying. I believe that happiness can come from all of the unexpected and unplanned moments of life that happen all of a sudden. Like when someone trips at work or a friend cracks a joke in the middle of a study session. My major answer to happiness completely disagrees with both franklin and Thoreau. Happiness comes from the loved ones around you.
There is not one moment I can remember where I am not happy when my friends and or family are around. Being happy is not found in the riches of all the world or the things around but the people that love you for who you are. Life without people is lonely and purposeless, in my personal opinion. Now along with that, hard work and spots independence also have a role, I believe but it is not a main piece of the puzzle. Family and friends
