There are many quotes I have seen on Happiness, I believe in some but there are a few that I think are wrong.
One of the quotes on Happiness I think is wrong is Happiness does not cost a thing
There is a price to be paid for happiness, in every happy feeling we get, we must have invested something, it could be money, emotions, hard work, or any other thing.
If you ask some people what makes them happy, some will say being with their loved ones, some will say making their loved ones happy, for others it is having money to buy expensive things that make life easier for them while some derive their happiness in helping others and putting a smile on their face.
All that I mentioned above definitely cost something and if you still disagree, tell me what makes you happy and I will tell you what it cost you.
Regardless of all this, I think true happiness is based on our mindset, contentment is the key to happiness, you can have all the money in the world and still not be as happy as a poor man if you think something is lacking in your life.
Happiness can be termed as a journey rather than a destination, there is no destination because Human needs are insatiable, when we achieve what we have always wanted, we suddenly don't appreciate it anymore and want something greater.
This is why sometimes I do not blame the politicians who have a lot of money they can't spend in their lifetime but are still greedy for more, it is just human nature and we have that greed in us just that some people learn to control theirs, I mean people with empathy and care about the welfare of others.
Happiness is a state of mind, so you may not derive happiness from something that makes me happy.
As for me, one of my ways of deriving happiness is setting a goal and every progress towards the goal makes me happy because I feel the thrill and look forward to when I will accomplish it.
Being positive at all times could be a way to live a happy life, do not crave everything in the world because no one has it all, you may be the richest and still not be happy, you may have what others don't have and still not be happy if you are not contented.
Be contented!

Don't wish for it, Make it happen
Happiness is indeed a state of mind, and achieving it will vary from one individual to another. I think contentment is a great stepping stone towards happiness, because the more wants or desires we have, the less happy we tend to get.
Yea, this is the problem many humans are facing, we always want more but only few are ready to not let those wants make them feel depressed when they can’t get it
Directly or indirectly our happiness depends on money at least a minimum amount of money is needed to be happy. That's the reason I used to say that money can't buy happiness but without money no one can be happy and many people are not ready to accept the truth.
yea you are right but many people do not want to admit this.
Regardless of who you are, your status in life and wherever you are, you only find happiness when you are satisfied with status.
Yea that is it
To be honest, you're on point sir.
When you feel satisfied with where you are and what you have there, there must be happiness
In the same way, a person is happy when he is successful and after working hard, he gets success in life, and after five to ten years of hard work, when his life is easy, then a person is very happy.
Contentment is one of the keys to happiness.
Sometimes people say the are good how they are but it’s an excuse to remain lazy!
That is for people that don’t want to leave their comfortable zone and such people remain stagnant in life
Exactly.
No truer words have been said
I also agree with you, happiness cost many hard work because a lazy person can never be happy, but in all contentment is the major key of happiness.
At the end of it all, money can’t buy true happiness but it all depends on our mindset though
Wanting to get everything will only deprive you of your happiness, indeed contentment is the key to happiness 😊
If one does not practice contentment, there's no way they can experience happiness. Lack of contentment won't let them appreciate how far they have come in life.
Your right happiness is based on our mindset and we need to be happy always
