Hey Chip,

Thanks for your awesome contribution to the Happiness Project. Just wanted to put out an invitation to all your readers to participate as well

1. Hapiness is a feeling that is hard to describe, everyone feels hapiness in different ways and it is often hard to express. For me hapiness is the feeling of being loved, cared for, and making someone else also feel happy.
2. 8 – I think when you are a child hapiness comes from far smaller aspects of life, e.g. eating a chocolate bar, playing outside for longer. I think as an adult you start to cherish the things that make you happy far more.
3. Waking up between 10-11am makes me feel alot better! Seeing my boyfriend, helping others, socialising, speaking to my family. I find myself to be a very happy person and don’t let things get to me too much.
4. Small things if I am in not such a good mood often lessen my hapiness, usually when things drop on the floor etc!
5. Helping others, providing for and having a family, living a life where others around me are also happy.

Happiness for me is earning enough so that I can look after my family, while not working so hard that I don’t get to see them.

1) Happiness to me is doing what I want, when I want to do it
2) I was brought up in a dysfunctional family so I’m happier, as an adult, away from the parents
3) Meditation, exercise, and trying to learn something new
4) Corporate politics and needing to compromise, a lot, just to earn a living.
5) Self-employment but w/o the need to always have to solicit clients, a steady stream of reoccurring revenue. I do believe money (not the pursuit of money) leads to happiness and fulfillment.
