According to a survey by the Simplicity Institute, an organization that surveyed 2,500 people across various countries who self-identified themselves as living with fewer possessions, 87 percent of respondents indicated they were happier now than when they owned more possessions.
This may sound contrary to everything we’ve been told growing up. Butwhen we begin to consider the benefits of living with less (less debt, less stress, less cleaning), it begins to make sense why these statistics would hold true. Happiness is not found in owning as many possessions as possible; it’s found living life consistent with your greatest passions.
“Are you happy” is such a difficult question. I always say yes because I have friends, I laugh at jokes, I go out a lot and have fun. My life isn't as bad as it could be, and I don't have terrible problems. It could have been worse.
Social time is highly valuable when it comes to improving our happiness, even for introverts. Several studies have found that time spent with friends and family makes a big difference to how happy we feel, generally.
Happiness is a sense of well-being, joy, or contentment. When people are successful, or safe, or lucky, they feel happiness. The "pursuit of happiness" is something this country is based on, and different people feel happiness for different reasons.
* "Gratitude" is the one word that has the power to make people happy. Having gratitude is feeling thankful or appreciative for the kind things that have been done for us or given to us.
A common response to "have a great day" is "Thank you, you too!" or "Thanks, you too!" This is a polite and friendly way to acknowledge the well-wish and also express a similar sentiment in return. Great day to you too. Another great day to you.
