How happy are you?

[Eilt Druin]

How happy are you in life right now? Is it a goal you are still trying to achieve, or are you more or less happy with where you are now and where life is taking you? Do you see things getting better for you, staying the same, or worse?

I said I am generally happy. There is always room for improvement in one's life, but I am happy with where I am right now. All life has it's ups and downs, they are natural. The downs help you to appreciate the ups more.

I am generally happy. I have a wonderful husband, 2 great kids, a nice home, a few luxuries, and a wonderful extended family. There is still things I strive for in life, of course, but I wouldn't change the way my life is right now.

Hi Eilt, I couldnt help wondering how you felt about being happy with you asking the question.I suppose happiness means different things to different people....I have happy moments...And the rest is mixed! I would like to be more active in world events and maybe one day I will be! My two son's are grown now and are doing ok. So I have time to contemplate on other things! ....What would make me truly happy is an end to war..and... understanding and respect for all life!! ....love and peace to you all!!!........KaK......

Hi Kathleen. I am happy with the way things are going in my life right now. Happiness to me means living, loving and learning in the moment, and having fun to the best of my ability. Also, having goals and aspirations that I can constantly strive towards, then achieving them, and most importantly, being with the ones I love.

I asked this particular question because I wanted to get a general idea of what happiness is to different people, and what percentage of people are truly happy versus what percentage are not (although more responses would be needed, of course). So, thanks for your votes and discussions everyone.

I picked this one as I am always trying to better different parts of my life, if I didn't do this what would be the point in having one, right? Just seems silly not to think that way.

I am generally happy with my life
