Happiness

Happy
1 feeling or showing pleasure or contentment 
2 [in combination ] informal inclined to use a specified thing excessively or at random


I strongly believe that everyone deserves to be happy, let me rephrase, I strongly believe that every decent, moral human being deserves to be happy.  Do what excites you, makes you smile, makes you remember positive pastimes - or simply just makes you look around and realize that you love your life.  It's important. 


I feel as if people focus on things such as new jobs, vacations, a partner and money... and seriously believe that these external things are what brings happiness.  True happiness can only come from within oneself.  It means accepting and being content with yourself [see definition above].  I'm not saying that people should not strive for these things, I totally support that you should work for what you want.  If you want to go on a long vacation - do it, it will bring enjoyment into your life.  Being able to work for something and actually accomplish that goal makes you appreciate those goals so much more.  


Its human nature to want to be happy, and like I said I believe that every decent, moral human being deserves to be happy.  Happiness can bring so many positive factors into our lives and possibly reduce quite a large percentage of the negative factors we have.
