Happiness: Defined by Famous Philosophers and Psychologists.

What is this experience that we ubiquitously seek is it elusive or is it a reality that can be sustained or is it fleeting and episodic?

Happiness is stated to be simple when you get it but it’s not simple to get to.

How is it defined by past philosophers and does their definition meet the modern-day standards that we presently experience?

Is happiness like art in the heart of the individual?

This is a truth there is no inherent value of happiness that exists within a thing, event, or circumstance just as passion is a human trait and emotions or passions are not found in things. Therefore being rich does not guarantee happiness.

Happiness can show up in a myriad of ways and individual expressions.

Happiness can resonate when there is a distinct alignment with being in congruence or in harmony with what is. It’s not in a circumstance or even when the perception is juxtaposed with the reality of expectations.

When your life approximates expectations there is an inner joy that can be translated as happiness.

Happiness can also be experienced as equal to or greater than the perception of the events within your life minus your expectations of how life should be.
