Happiness is often considered difficult to define. Why is this? What factors determine happiness?

Many

people

think that

happiness

is very hard to explain.

This

is because everyone has a different perspective and there are many factors that describe

happiness

. In my opinion, some individuals struggle a lot to achieve satisfaction, whereas others are immedicable happy, irrespective of the situation. As we know, different

people

have different levels of needs.

This

unsatisfied necessity

further

stimulates an individual to act in order to satisfy them. Once they reach a specific level of contentment, they start aspiring to move on to the

next

level. Fulfilment of needs leads to satisfaction which

further

provides

happiness

to a

person

. Since

people

perceive

happiness

differently, they find it difficult to quantify

happiness

.

Moreover

, it is nothing but a state of mind.

For example

, a highly affluent

person

may not be contented with what he has,

on the contrary

, a poor

person

can be happy while struggling for a day's meal.

Similarly

, there are various determiners of

happiness

. The

first

and foremost is a feeling of content. An individual who has a sense of positive discontent always remain happy.

In other words

,

such

a

person

enjoys his work and life but still aspires for more and more to learn and to achieve. The other factor is the point of control or the key to

happiness

. Human is either controlled by external factors, or he is capable of controlling them.

As a result

, his

happiness

is decided by other

people

or things, not by his own mind. If

people

are able to control their minds,

then

they can control their own

happiness

, no matter what the circumstances are. To conclude,

happiness

depends on our perceptions. As far we have the keys to

happiness

in our hands, nothing from outside in

this

world can affect the stage of our

happiness

and satisfaction.
