If you were always happy then you wouldn’t know you were happy, cos you wouldn’t see the contrast. So by definition you couldn’t always be happy. There are always ups and downs.

I don’t think anyone with any connection to reality is happy all the time. Perhaps children or people who lack the mental capacity to truly understand the world. Most adults of average or above intellect agree that life is a state of being more or less content depending on your circumstances, punctuated with moments of joy and moments of sorrow.

Happiness is a huge topic and an enormous multimillion dollar industry. Consuming is largely associated and marketed as happiness.
BUT:
Observe a baby now if there is one near you; or go out to the children playground and observe without judgment or comments…just look and listen

Ask yourself:
How can they be so happy without status, money, belonging, a sense of time, ambition, goals, and so on????

Well, I say that being consistently happy is insane. It is in our nature to experience the constant motion in our being. This is normal. Feeling shifts in our range of senses is living. Not feeling is not living. So long the feelings are not excessive beyond the range that is common to us. This is tricky because it depends a lot on the environment you grew in. You only know that. Also, whether you are superstitious, religious, guided by the outside environment, or by faith….

Happiness is deep inside of us just like the sun is always there. The sun is always there regardless of the weather patterns.

Happiness, like all other emotions, is a perception that we can either accept or discard, provided you have emotional control. It’s more of a reluctance, really, to look at things realistically and see things for how they are. There’s nothing happy in this world. There’s nothing sad in this world. One man dies so another may live. What wrong/good can be found in that? Contentment, on the other hand, is realistic and is indicative of a satisfaction, but not necessarily a joy, with life and an acceptance of its “sign at the dotted line and die here” terms. The two are completely different.

Is there such thing as always being happy? I think that depends on what you’re definition of happiness is. You experience mostly short term happiness, probably because you are experiencing a false sense of gratification – let me explain.

Most people, depend on all the wrong things to make them happy. You know those people, who are having a bad day, so they look to their favourite food to binge on, they get out their credit card and spend lots of money on all new clothes, they decide it’s time to blow money on a vacation, etc. etc. These things and others, all make us feel happy for a short term. As soon as the instant “high” and satisfaction is over with, we fall right back down to where we were before – sad.

That’s why we need to understand what true happiness is. True happiness starts from within. Besides external factors (ie. weather, death of a loved one, etc), we are capable of being happy whenever we want. All it takes is being happy with yourself and learning how to have a positive outlook on everything that happens around us. Now, I didn’t say happiness was easy, yet it is possible. I have created a course that deals with happiness and helps you grow as a person in 20 areas of your life that affect happiness. Yes, I said 20 areas. Areas like motivation, positive attitude, resilience, etc. Happiness isn’t easy for everyone to achieve and it is something we learn to accept within ourselves. If we can’t be happy with ourselves first, then how are we going to be happy with those around us?

So basically to sum it all up, you need to learn to be happy with yourself. You need to look at situations with a positive outlook. You need to smile and tell yourself that life is a learning curve – not everything is going to go right, but I’m okay with that. And lastly, you need to appreciate the finer items in life that make us happy – spending time with friends and family, sharing a smile with a stranger, sipping coffee by a fire – not the materialistic items like money, a fancy car and so on.
