Being able to smile always is indeed a great achievement. Happiness is that emotional feeling we get when we are certified or have achieved something. It obvious that happiness does not apply to only the rich but to everyone who have an open heart and appreciates every bit of blessing that comes their way.

Every single person on earth loves to live a happy life regardless of where ever you are from, Happiness is our ultimate goal. No one wants to live a regretful life or a life without happiness.
It is a fact that every individual wants to be happy or live a happy live. However, happiness has lots of definition, Let's say, the way a kid defines happiness is different from a teenager or even an adult.To proof this, i started an interview asking the same question to a kid, teenager and an adult. the question is "What does happiness mean to you?"
Kid's definition
- "Happiness is playing with mum and dad"-Kelvin. age 4
- "Happiness is peace and safety from anykind of harm"-Kabal. age 9
- "Happiness is going shopping with my mother"-Grace. age 10
- "Happiness is playing with all my friends and making new friends"-Mike. age 12
- "Eating something like snacks before going to bed makes me happy" Kambal. age 5
Teenager's Definition
- "Happiness is Me, My computer,the internet and power supply" Majabi
- "Happiness is love, peace and harmony" smith
- "Siting around friends that thinks innovatively, makes me happy"
- "Creating something i am happy to call mine, makes me feel awsome and happy"
Adult's Definition
- "Happiness is finding inner peace within my heart"
- "Happiness to me is being with someone special and to see her smile" @rougebot
- "happiness is living according to certain values, where your work is the same as your play"- @inquiringtimes
- "happiness as a whole is seeing the good and bad in everything like in people or anything". - @kristyyd
You wake up knowing yes there's problems in life and the world but right at this moment not ten minutes from now right now everything is good, everything is calm. I don't have to feel bliss to feel happy just good and you can walk around looking at everything like it's new even though you seen it before it just looks beautiful now in the sense of love - @kristyyd
All the replies i got from the this three categories were all amazing and thoughtful. Each of them had a distinct thoughts that has lots of meanings.
Wealth and happiness
Wealth and happiness are two distinct things. one can be very wealthy but not happy. Truth be told, happiness is something very extraordinary and the people that have it are always awesome. let's say something nice like a luxury car, which is so much valued today becomes outdated and becomes devalued. Truth be told, even the most poorest man on earth can become the richest if he is happy.
Live your life like a boss
We are all human and we all have free will to do just anything. It could be something good, bad or ugly but each has their consequences. Our mind can easily differentiate good and bad so, it's more recommended that you do good. Living a happy life isn't much a great task, but depends on what you want it to be.
I am not a life adviser but i think the following can help you think of something cool and a better way to structure your way of life.
-
Focus on what you love to do
Minggle with people
Follow your passion
Trying to be someone or something you are not does not help matter. Rather, doing something you are passionate about or something you love doing is a great idea because in no time, you will be surrounded by people with similar interest.
This helps you to build connections with people.Get yourself involved, learn and gather experiences. There is nothing more better than learning from those higher than you except you are the type with too much ego.
What you love doing best and could even do for free is what you are passionate of. Truth be told, there is much more value in what you do and happy to do it even for free. This on its own draw you close to success and people will value you because of your positivity.
The turnel to happiness
I describe Happiness as an open source which everyone or anyone can simply and easily gain access to at any point in time. To gain access to it, you simply need to give it that chance.
We face lots of things during our lifetime and that is tagged to be our experience. Experience stays with us for a lifetime and this in the other hand actually build us, strengthening the way we think, our character and also give room for more understanding.
My own side of the story
As a very young cute and handsome boy, i love playing so much with friends and most importantly, eating lots of chocolate. My mother always hides the chocolate from me but it's so funny that she doesn't know how to hide things because i will go extra mile searching the whole house trying to find it. As a kid, if anyone could have had the chance to ask me what happiness is, i would say "Happiness is eating chocolate". But with time, the definition changes as i grow up. Life has always been a struggle but to me, each struggle is an experience. I mingle with lots of people, make new friends and try as much as possible to stay positive with them, learn,teach and execute what i learnt. going through many tries is actually part of the game so i have to pass through them. As a child growing up, i am always happy no matter what. A friend once told me that a smiling face don't get old easily. so, i kept smiling. Smiling too brings out the joy in you and also your value.
Conclusion
Upon writing this article, i felt happiness. so, i need to know other's thoughts about it. Don't think happiness is hidden, you will find it when you open up for it. Happiness has a lot of value but we can't buy happiness with money. If your pursuit in life is wealth and luxuries, you must understand that even those will become outdated someday.
We are all connected in one way or the other. We all need one another to survive. For everyday we go out there to do something, there is always a time when you need someone to help you or you benefiting from someone's activity. To see almost everything happening around you to be awesome, you need to stay happy. For happiness also strengthening our relationship with others.

The problem is with everyones perspective of happiness which is why we would all define what makes us happy differently but for the most part we're not happy, we do things that provide temporary happiness but never feel happy consistently.
Happiness is hard to achieve because for the most part we've been led to believe that we can have and do what we want in life and be happy but this just isn't the case, e.g for a career most people dont end up doing something they love but have to do something they dont just to survive, this is an unfortunate reality but because we've all been programmed to think we should all be able to do something we love and make money from it we're even more depressed when we cant.
