The dictionary definition does seem a bit simplistic. Happiness is learning to love. Love and happiness go hand in hand. It doesn't have to be a romantic kind of love but a kind of love that means a strong, respecting, and caring nature. Happiness is dependent on the love you chose to give off. Happiness is the love you give off. But first one must learn how and what to love. Learning to love has three subjects prior to being happy.  Once you are able to love the three points only then can one achieve happiness.]]> 2018-04-19 18:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/900004272/org4re2jjtz5/wish/253581104 Loving the World 900004272 https://padlet.com/900004272/org4re2jjtz5/wish/253947508 The People in it: There has been a Harvard study that people tend to be more happier when in a relationship. They repeat the words of a professional saying that it is the quality of the relationship that matters. Harvard also says that a happy relationship should be a healthy one so people should make sure their relationships should be built on the willingness to be there for the person or people.

The World Itself:  There has been an experiment in Japan where participants were dived in two groups. The first group went on a walk through an urban center and the second went through a forest. The people who walked through the forest reported to have less anxiety and be more happier. It has been proven by the same researchers that the world and nature can mentally make you happier.

What you can do for the world: A Harvard professional states "Giving to a cause that specifies what they’re going to do with your money leads to more happiness than giving to an umbrella cause where you’re not so sure where your money is going.”  Adam Grant, an author of Give & Take, states “Selfless giving, in the absence of self-preservation instincts, easily becomes overwhelming,” Happiness can come from giving to the world more than you take from it. You become happier when you give back willingly with as much love as possible. You become a more open person and become more happy. As the professionals listed have stated happiness is loving to give back.

Self esteem is vital to finding your way to happiness and many people chose to agree that it should always come first. "Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."   States an American minister Norman Vincent Peale. The researchers at the National Institute on Aging say that people with healthy self esteem are doing well and are happy. Studies in the University of Michigan say that being satisfied or happy with your life matters not on money and relationship satisfaction but more on satisfaction towards yourself. Even believing that you are better than you hold yourself accountable for can protect yourself from anxiety and depression.
