How happy are you?

They say happiness is the state of mind.

Whatever your living status is or your circumstances are, however your course of life going on, can you rate your level of happiness at the moment?

Next question will be how can we improve that level but that comes later. Lets discuss to find the best out of things

I would say it's a 6 or 7 out of 10.
Not the euphoric happiness but the contentment happiness. I still have a long way to go and I'm working on it.

**I will jump to your next Question…

How can we improve our level of Happiness?

is when our Thoughts, Our Words and Our Actions Are all in Conformity…:biggthumb:**

:lajawab:

Actually pretty good Alhamdulli'lah! What obama said above..when our words and actions are in all conformity!

It’s a tough question. My constant worries of future have kept me questioning every move i make.
I am probably the happiest man alive but I am worried all the time.

These are two great things

One is that you know exactly how happy you are and the nature of it.

Second is that you are determined to make it better. Way to go! :bb:

But how do you attain the last part. Like what should one do th make the mentioned on the same line?

Thats awesome. Do you think you should do something to help others reach the same level where you are? And if yes, how’ll you do that?

Yes its not easy to define that. Mostly because its hard to measure and if someone does like how LP mentioned above, i think its a success by itself.

If you are happy and yet you are worried, there is something missing. Right? Have you figured out what? And how would you fulfil the gap?

OK @SID_NY Bhai Sahib I will let you in on my personal Philosophy!

It All Boils down to where you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pray to Allah Subhana hu Wa Taala THAT HE NEVER makes you DEPENDANT/MUHTAAJ on HIS MAKHLOOQ!..:k:

You see Makhlooq WILL and CAN DISAPPOINT you! :bummer:

So in the END we should NEVER have EXPECTATIONS from Makhlooq!

and Be HAPPY AND THANKFUL with what OUR KHALIQ has Provided!

ALHUMDOLILLAH!

I understood it a bit late but better late than never! :hypo:

I would love to..help anyone and everyone. I have been in very bad shape 3-4 years ago myself. Perhaps lowest point in my life in every-way. By Allah’s assistance and help…someone I come across in my life..really went out of their way to help and counsel me during tough time..and only thing that person said to me..is to pass kindness and help..to whoever going through any kind of pain.
Ya see..only way..i can help others is..if they except and recognize their mistakes and shortcomings (if they have any) and willing to make that change in life in a very positive way. And only then..the help is very constructive. And the toughest battle to stay in state of “Sabr”. By Sabr i mean..to remain persistent and do nothing but good, do your best and leave everything to Allah..

So i would like to play constructive role in other people’s lives..

People you leave behind for greener pastures. Trade-offs you make for family, career or whatever.
Things will never be perfect.
Just say Alhamdullillah and move on.

Probably the happiest person round here!

Happiness is an inside job and contrary to SIDS assertion is measurable, it is but a chemical reaction in your brain, many very wealthy and successful people are very unhappy my best friends uncle patriarch of the richest empire in Pak was the unhappiest man I came across in my life, always yelling and shaking with anger.
Socrates had said purpose of life is to be happy so we need to make a conscious effort to be happy
Most of our brain circuits are developed by age 5 so if our child hood was in an environment of yelling, hitting kids and verbal and physical abuse than very hard to rewire that brain but can be done.

What is happiness
