Want Happiness?

What is happiness? Try and define the term happy. What someone would define happiness would be something that you like, something that you enjoy or something that gets a smile to your face. But I define happiness as the response of your want or need to the reaction on you actually fulfilling that want or need.

What makes you happy, well mostly they are things that you want and when you do actually get it you feel happy. At times with our close ones we expect from them. Maybe not something in material, but we have our set of expectations from them, like you expect to get a gift on your birthday, but when you don't get it you will not feel happy.

There are very few people who smile or feel happy when they help others. Else mostly people help others with a fact in mind someday that person will help him back.

But this attitude is where the problem is. We expect is where the realproblem lies. If you expect and don't get something you will feel bad. But if you don't expect and don't get you will never feel bad. We should not expect anything from anyone in our life may it be best friends or even parents, that is the true key to happiness. Doing this is a very difficult task in life, but a 100% method of achieving happiness.
