What do make you happy?

Last week I saw a very interesting vídeo, a kind of motivational vídeo about a young called Sam Berns. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36m1o-tM05g)

He suffered from Progeria, a rare disease.

Despite all limitations and suffering, he states that the most important thing the people shuld know about him is that he has a happy life... Interesting, isn’t?
Sam says there are three outlooks he follows to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Firstly: “Be ok with what you ultimately can’t do because there is so much that you can do...”

Secondly: “Surround yourself with people you want to be around. Appreciate you family, your friends, and you mentors, as they all can have a very significant impact on your life...”

And finally, “Stay in a forward thinking state of mind.”
I’ve been thinking a lot about this matter...in fact, I think all of us should discovery what really make us feel alive, and happy...

How about you, my friends’s EC? What's your own philosophy for a happy life?

Best regards!

P.S. I’m sorry any mistake in spelling!

  • Hii Nan, What does make you happy? That is really intersting question, which required to think everyone before give their own answer. In my case, I try to make different choices, take various risks and create a little change to live in my life everyday. If I will see myself with a tiny differences today than other my days, indeed these make me happy. 

  • Is s/he giving too much hard time?

  • Seein' my supervisor fall down and crack her dumb skull.

  • Hi Nan,

    I don't have lots to say as Snow White's comment and your answer fit well to what I wanted to say. 

    Indeed, the true happiness is from the inside

    Btw, 'discovery' is a noun, and the verb form is 'discover'. 

    Thank you for sharing your great topic. :)

  • Hi nan,

    Nice words that you have expressed ,obviously family and friends take an important role in our life but many other things that make us happy....for me whenever I help others in any respect it really really make me happy and my soul as well.

  • Hi, Hitesh!

    Thank you for your comment... I really appreciated it!

    See you...

    • No idea what makes me happy. I'm just happy.

      Being happy is a feeling so it's hard for me to tell which thing makes me happy.

  • Nice, Article and question you shared, Thanks.

    According to me, Happiness is state of mind, one can be happy in any worst situation and one can not be happy in any blissful event why? because they don't know what is the happiness is.

    In Addition to that, Nowadays, in this materialistic world, people often find happiness in outer object as rightly said by @ Svitlana  for many people lots of money, latest electronic gadgets, luxuries car and bungalows gave happiness. However, Happiness is inner peace. One is true happy if they smile in every situation.   

    Thanks
