Happiness And Happiness

Webster defines joy as “a very glad feeling.” But The Holman Bible Dictionary defines joy as, “the happy state that results from knowing

A person’s happiness can have an impact on others. People can get agitated because a group or individual is at peace or sons and daughter can be happy as a result of witnessing their parents being content. Delightment is capable of encouraging expansion of one’s knowledge. For instance, if one realizes their potential in achieving greatness in a certain subject, the satisfaction could lead to desiring to draw in more knowledge, knowing the greatness that individual can achieve. Someone who is depressed doesn’t have the motivation to achieve something positive. There are people that misinterpret or have a negative pleasure and peace of mind. That’s the incredible potential happiness

Happiness is a key to everybodys life. Even the most depressed man on earth has a little happiness deep down inside. Its what keeps us striving to fulfil our needs and wants on an everyday basis. There is not one kid who does not get excited over a dollar to spend at the candy shop. What about the feeling of getting a promotion at your job, or even finding the cure for cancer. Being happy is not just healthy, but it is also rewarding for each and every individual. We strive to find anything that will turn a bad day to a good one. Individuals will compromise to attain their happiness. You can not get what you want without giving something first.

I relate to this poem in so many ways especially because it relates so dearly to my life. It’s the idea that you have to wake up and be the best you, you can be in order to achieve your goals and succeed. The title is what intrigued me the most because it’s so ironic how the belief that you wake up smiling no matter what hardships you face will be how many people live their lives. Many of the feelings that arose within me were all due to personal experiences of my life because truly within this school year i've been truly unhappy however I never show it because I feel as if I need the positive attitude and mindset in order to get out of this stage in life and achieve my overall goal for my future. The idea of sadness and happiness play a big role within your life especially within the content of the poem in which the poem talks about how sadness won’t lead you into a successful life however happiness bring will bring you a better life. The reality of this poem can relate to the unfortunate event of Robin Williams suicide and the perception of him being happy however he was fighting his own battles of depression. The suicide of Robin Williams leads me to wonder how does the existence of depression and suicidality in comedians help reveal the meaning of the poem “ I Woke Up - Smiling “ by Ha Jin?

How am I to attain joy, when I don’t focus on Christ? My struggle with joy says something about my struggle in my spiritual walk. Looking to the world and it’s temporary thrills will never bring me the ultimate joy that I crave. As Reinke says, “ We may go through the motions, but eventually the misplaced priority of worldliness will corrode the soul’s joy”.

There are many different ways people can achieve true joy and happiness in this world. In his in his book The Tree of World Religions, author John Bellaimey describes one of these ways. In Buddhism, there is a correlation between living a simplistic life and living a joyous one, and how the latter is dependent on the former. Followers of true Buddhism live a life free from the desires and temptations of the world. Although in life we often attribute getting new material goods or partaking in exhilarating experiences as the pathway to happiness, this cannot be achieved by everyone. Buddhism provides a path for joy to anyone and everyone. People throughout the world associate getting more with living a better life, as it is our natural instinct

Everyone has their own way to find happiness. As it is a feeling, each of us has our own range and different definitions about this term. We know that there are many joyful things

Nearly everyone nowadays keeps saying things like happiness is key, being happy will help you in the long run, or something like that. To be honest, people tend to overhype these kind of things. However, can anyone live a life of only happiness? Can you even live a life of pure bliss? If I remember right, there are several degrees of happiness, so wouldn't the lower degrees count as sadness. And now I realized I got off track a bit. Anyways, while it’s nice to be happy and all, sadness is also a prominent part of our lives and can very easily take it away. Though it’s only temporary. However for some people, happiness is so close and yet beyond their grasp. And when they do achieve their goal, something just comes along

When first asked, I believed that happiness was simply fulfilling a desire, but through topics discussed in class, I now realize that there is so much more to happiness. The road to happiness includes using virtues to receive gifts from God and from others. From the Beatitudes, we can learn to use what Jesus has taught us, to gain happiness in our everyday lives. We are taught that when we believe in God, mourn, be gentle, seek righteousness, show mercy,

Father Himes mentions that there is a difference in being happy and feeling joy. I find that it does not take very much for me to be happy in life, however it is the special moments in life that bring me joy. I am usually joyful when I am going through challenge that specifically makes me have to incorporate all my strengths. I am not talking about challenges like getting a flat tire on the freeway or dealing with plumbing issues. I am talking specifically when

That's why NEHEMIAH proclaimed that, "THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH".(Nehemiah 8:10) Nehemiah knew the power of Joy. God knew Joy like laughter is contagious! He gave us his Joy to keep us strong in times of trouble, keep us content when we go lacking, to keep us at peace when there seems to

When someone asks Google “how many people are there in the world?”a straight answer of 7.125 billion appears on the screen. However when asked “how many happy people in the world?” Google wasn't quiet sure of the answer. Is that because happiness as a human emotion cannot fully be defined? In Elizabeth Landau’s article states why happiness is so important in our daily life. Although we don't always have complete control over our emotions our surroundings, the environment and people we involve ourselves with has a lot to due with humans “happiness’”in general she explains. The human brain is the most powerful part of our whole body and if one can learn how to control your mind you can be happy, but defining

Happiness can come in a wide variety of things. Different things make different people happy. Seeing a cute dog can make me happy for a moment. Do we long to be happy one day at a time or are we longing to know we will never be sad? Assume every person on the planet has had their happy moments, there is always a deterrent. Always the next moment that can be taken in any direction and if you have experienced emotions then it is known. People may long to be happy but. I think no one can ever be one hundred percent happy for their whole life, but I think people can be content. There will always be moments that are not happy moments but there will always be another moment that can bring joy. I believe you can be happy with your life, even with those moments of other emotion. One of the main things that I want in life is happiness. What can make me happy are many different things. I long for happiness, and in that longing many things that have the

Suffice to say happiness is a reaction, so basically one becomes happy after they have done or received something. There is the odd occasion of a person who is happy for no reason. Like morality though, the person’s personality, upbringing, and thinking all have an effect on what will make them happy. A simple example of this: Bob and Mary and brought up in two different homes, environments, with different family values. Now as teenagers Mary finds it a drag to look for and have a job, where as Bob gets satisfaction out of working because it is apart of his upbringing.

At first introduction I am seen as perpetually cheerful and high energy. Coworkers, friends and acquaintances recognize quickly that I am fiercely competitive, passionate about my work, and easily classified as Type A personality. It is clear from my Instagram account I am obsessed with the outdoors; from skiing and hiking to mountain biking and camping, I search for adventure as often as possible. My Facebook is littered with photos of my four-year-old’s choice in outfits and silly quotes showing her viewpoint on the world. (“I’m a strong, interpendent woman!” is a recent favorite.) What many people don’t know, however, is the laundry list of traumas and tragedies I have endured. I often get the shocked deer-in-the-headlights look when someone finds out both my parents died within two years of each other. When it comes out that I married young to escape my emotionally abusive mother, just to realize my husband was also abusive, the comment is usually on how courageous it must have been to file for divorce and leave with my young toddler in tow. It is not uncommon to hear the exclamation, “But how are you so happy still?” after hearing of my multiple miscarriages.
