Everything That's Beautiful.

Define Happiness.

1. a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
2. an album released by 'Fridge' in September of 2001 (which appears to be a subsection in the category of 'electronic music').
3. a reference point to which other states of mind can be compared.
4. freedom from want and distress, consciousness of the good order of things and assurance of one's place in the universe.

a form of fufillment achieved when one reaches a personal goal, or a fortunate biproduct of another goal in pursuit.

For me, happiness is what drives me. Why do something if ultimately you don't think it will make you happier than you currently are. Honestly, who can say that they are driven to do something that in the end they know will only make them miserable?

For me, happiness is the feeling you get every so often where you can just step back, smile, look at life and be simply amazed. For me it's not only the feeling you have when you see someone smile, but the bliss that you can get knowing you caused that simple gesture of joy. For me, it's being completely content with the way things are, or to quote Sheryl Crow, "It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got." (For lack thereof a better individual to quote off the top of my head).

Happiness, I believe is one of the most mistakenly underestimated emotions. For without it, no emotion can be great, not even what most people agree to be the greatest--love.

Without happiness, there can be nothing.
