What is the real happiness?

Have you ask yourself what is real happiness? When was the last time i laugh out loud? when was the last time i smile? some also asked "am i happy?" "where can i find a real happiness?" and a lot of questions that even ourselves cant find the answer.

With our economy crisis today you hardly find people with happiness & smile on thier face. Almost were always thinking on how to save for the future and future. Some always scared with thier stability that anytime the company they're working might be closed. Some can't find the job. Some doesnt have enough to satisfy thier needs. Some are worried about thier health & etc. With that reasons we forgot to smile and laugh to stress out from our stressful situation and unload the burden that we always carry.

But what is really a real Happiness? According to the book of William Gracian and William McDougall, a Harvard Psychologist says that there are two kinds of happiness: feel-good and value-based.

Feel Good Happiness is sensation-based pleasure. When we joke around or have sex, we experience fee-good happiness. Since it is ruled by the law of diminishing returns, the kicks get harder to come by. While the Value Based Happiness is a sense that our lives have meaning and fulfill some larger purpose that represents a spiritual source of satisfaction and stemming from out deeper purpose and values. So the source of happiness is from you and its only your choice either to make happy or to be miserable for the rest of your life.
