Happiness needs to be where you are at in your journey rather than a destination.

It took me a long time to realize it was a journey. If we make it a destination - then what? It is more fun to enjoy a journey and enjoy every aspect of it as we travel along the way. Great lens. Thanks.

Definitely the journey. If you decide that you'll be happy if this or that happens in the future, the future is always away from now. You should try and be happy about things that you have now and then be happy on the journey to achieve the things you want.

At the end of my journal about a six-mo. (literal) journey, I wrote: Now that I'm finished, I'm trying to grasp the thought that I really did it at all. I mean, it almost doesn't seem real now. After only days off the trail, I almost feel like it was a dream. All I can say is, whatever it is you do ... make the most of and appreciate each day, because the days pass and things end, and it's like *poof* ... it's over. The memories are wonderful. So are the pictures. But the journey is the treasure.

In order to be happy, you must DECIDE to be happy...
Desire is the starting point for all suffering and misery.

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.[http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=35689&dict=CALD Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary] (accessed 2008-Dec-23) A variety of philosophical, religious, psychological and biological approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.
Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this older sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics.
While direct measurement of happiness presents challenges, tools such as The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire have been developed by researchers. Positive psychology researchers use theoretical models that include describing happiness as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities, or that describe three kinds of happiness: pleasure, engagement, and meaning.
Research has identified a number of attributes that correlate with happiness: relationships and social interaction, extraversion, marital status, employment, health, democratic freedom, optimism, religious involvement, income and proximity to other happy people.
Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness should be used to supplement more traditional economic measures when evaluating the success of public policy.
