Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
Why happiness seems to come easier to some than others. Did you know fifty percent of happiness is determined by genes and forty percent is under your control? The key to increasing sustainable happiness is not money, fame, youth or material gain.Numerous studies have found that material objects don't lead to happiness over the long term. Young failed to contribute to happiness, and adults grew steadily happier as they moved into and through middle age. Sustainable happiness is cultivated through small choices over a lifetime.
