One word: contentment

Things could be better or worse... Contentment doesn't imply apathy or seclusion.

other: reckless abandon

It is very simple, the secret of happy living is to live it the way that makes you happy.

Everything is SELF.

 

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

Setting a goal, striving for it, and reaching that goal.

 

[Liberty Star]

Contentment, setting goals and pursuing them ( chase factor) are both good ones.
I never understood reckless abandon, so not sure.

It is very simple, the secret of happy living is to live it the way that makes you happy.

Everything is SELF.

It makes me happy to do nothing today, just lazy around and put off everything till tomorow.
But won't that make me less happy tomorrow?

I think we all get a can of happiness for the most part, it all depends on how we spend it. Is hard work happiness? It can be very rewarding later on or even before that.

Being in the moment, and not thinking in words.

What is the secret of happy living?

Walking through an airport scanner and having the ladies of TSA ask for your autograph.

Happiness through helping others is a conspiracy theory.

If you never give, you will stop receiving in this world. Giving and receiving makes the market go round. Giving will also make your life better even if you receive nothing in return at that moment. If people perceive you as a person who gives either through positive energy, gifts, love or charity, they will be more likely to give to you. This karma effect will give you happiness.

To me happy living is knowing you're making your mark on the world.......
