What exactly is happiness?Is it relative or absolute?Is it ever what we think it is?

As society grows more complex our happiness too becomes less simple;things that our ancestors could only dream of have now become basic needs.Whatever its real nature;if there was a guide to happiness it would probably resemble the list we have compiled below.Check out how many of these elements of happiness are already present in your life, and how many you could acquire.And live happily ever after!

MONEY
Money and success don't change people;they just reinforce what is already there!It's obvious that money can't buy happiness;if it could, the rich would be happy-and they clearly aren't!Happiness means using money sensibly and without giving it too much thought -not letting money rule your life.

HAVING FUN
The ability to relax and enjoy yourself with other people is a powerful tool for a happier life, a weapon against anxiety and stress.The awkward , inhibited person never allows himself to let off steam, whereas the life and soul of the party is quick to discharge negative energy and unhappiness.

HUMOUR
The best way to approach life is with a good sense of humour. People who find things amusing tend to be cheerful, well armed against depression, fulfilled and free of complexes. Happy people can see the funny side of life.

FRIENDS
The good things in life need to be shared.A few good friends-all different but all loyal to one another-will help you enjoy the good times and get through the bad.There's no happiness for a man alone, even in paradise-this is what our grandparentsused to say, and they knew what they were talking about!

LOVE TO LOVE
Love can be a way of approaching the whole of life.It can be a source of creativity.People who fall in love and people who live to fall in love are among those who know the real secret of happiness.

LUST FOR LIFE
A thirst for life is the best recipe for happiness.If you can break free of your routine and appreciate how short life it, you'll realize how important it is to live it to the maximum.

COMMUNICATION
The best antidote to loneliness.
