What makes you happy?

By
Real Estate Agent

 Happiness is defined as a state of well-being or contentment, a pleasurable and satisfying experience (Merriam-Webster ).  If you give of your time to help others—a family member, your neighbor, an elderly person, a child—you will feel contentment, it will probably be a satisfying experience and in the process you will feel happier.

Real happiness and meaning in life comes, not from material things or money, it comes from doing what will help and please another.  Remember "there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving", famous last words don't you think.  So stop and ask yourself, or in a conversation with someone else ask them—what makes you happy? Hmm-m??!!

What makes me happy is finding a full tank of gas after everyone else has driven the car.

Merry Christmas.

Hi Dee, there are many things that make me happy but nothing quite like seeing the expression on someone's face when they receive a surprise gift from me.  Really cool stuff.  Much success to you!

Dee, you always bring out the thoughts in us.  What makes me happy is knowing that I've made at least one person feel better about him or herself every day.  A smile, a thank you, a handshake - anything which makes us know WE COUNT is how I measure my days.

Erv,

Oh, that would be nice, and very thoughtful too!

Jordon,

Thank you, the expression on their face is priceless.

Patty,

When I was asked that question, the first thing that came to my mind is my cat.  His playful antics (he like to play go hide and seek)even though he is old, brings a smile to my face every time and that to me is a measure of happiness.

Hi Juli,

It really doesn't take much to make someone happy, just the giving of yourself as you said it came make your day and their day.  Have a good one.
