Happiness is such a broad word, and its definition differs from person to person. Personally, I have several definitions for it. Firstly, I feel that happiness is a complete decision made by a person individually. One must pursue happiness, and not wait for it to find them first, because it won't. This is crucial in order to experience and enjoy self happiness to the fullest. One would recognize it by things such as warming smiles, giving, sharing, love, selfless acts, or just an all around positive person, and encouraging person to be around. If I were given $500 right now, I would invest it, and begin saving for my future. Although this sounds selfish, I feel that if I were to save this $500, and turn it into, say, $2000 eventually, I could still have that original $500 that I saved, and have $1500 more for things such as helping the less fortunate. If I were given $5000, I would do something similar to if I were given $500, but I would probably only invest half, and donate the other half to someone less fortunate than myself. If I were given $50000, I would definitely donate a fair amount to charity, save half or more for my future, and have a little bit of fun.
A very wise man once said:
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi
