How many times do we wonder if we’re really happy?To find the meaning of our lives and not to feel lost is to discover, at least in part, the key to happiness.
It’s an old discussion about philosophy and psychology: what it means to be happy in everyday life, whether happiness exists or not, whether it’s just transient, or whether you can really be happy. Discussion, as always, has a lot to do with what everyone calls happiness.
- Depending on this.

- In recent years many studies have been carried out on the concept of happiness.

We can be happy and unhappy; we can be sad and happy. This is a longitudinal study based on the happiness of people from more than 148 countries, which leads to the conclusion that this concept is an internal state and has little to do with what is happening to us.

The results of another Harvard longitudinal study argue that happiness is a lasting inner state and that it is not the result of an occasional and transient event that depends on good events, thinking in this way, our well-being could be linked to inner tranquility, spiritual peace, sense of serenity, tranquility and certainty that fills us and floods us with a pleasant satisfaction with life.
“Happiness is inner, not outward; therefore, it depends not on what we have, but on who we are. Henry Van Dyke?
As Jorge Bucay said, happiness can also be defined as the certainty of not feeling lost. This author states that being happy has a lot to do with knowing our course, finding the path we want to follow.
Happiness is not going anywhere, but walking in the right direction, this does not refer to the ephemeral joy that can occur when we realize something we want, or realize something that others have not realized, it does not make anyone happy. It is a lie to believe that happiness has to do with achievements so foolish that, once achieved, they create the need to seek a new motivation.
Happiness is part of and feeds on a clear mind that takes us in a certain direction, we must take advantage of the challenges when the path we choose is in line with the values in which we believe, when we are convinced that, whatever happens, we can always look at the compass and continue to advance, grow and live new adventures. It is precisely in this emotion that happiness is recreated, grows and floods us.
“My happiness is to thank what I have and not want too much what I don’t have. “Leo Tolstoy?
