Discover The Secrets to Happiness
First lets start with what happiness means as define by Webster, it is a noun which is a state of well-being or contentment; a pleasurable or satisfying experience. Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.

“I am happy” “Be happy” these are some of the happy words that i heard or read on text messages more often, in my lifetime if there is a counting machine that counts how many times this words mentioned i think it will be more than a thousands or just maybe a million. I myself always encouraged people to stay happy or be happy all the time whether on his birthday or just an ordinary day. But the Irony is that I don’t really know what real happiness is.

Discovering happiness is a process – a very long process of learning ourselves of what we want, of what can make us happy either my material thing or spiritual thing. Early scholars from the like of Confucius, Mencius, Buddha, Aristotle, they all have something to say what happiness and how to achieve happiness.

Everyone can relate with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,Maslow insists that the urge for self-actualization is deeply entrenched in the human psyche, but only surfaces once the more basic needs are fulfilled. Once the powerful needs for food, security, love and self-esteem are satisfied, a deep desire for creative expression and self-actualization rises to the surface. If you are already on the top of the pyramid you are already happy or self-actualized individual.

Aristotle says that:

Happiness depends on ourselves.
