Happiness to me is taking the best out of every moment. Stopping and taking the time to appreciate the little things. Being happy is being thankful, being able see my friends and family and having the ability to do daily tasks. Happiness is taking the time out of your day to embrace every little thing that happens. It is finding the good even out of the worst times. There are many different ways to experience happiness. As Critchley states "one can sink into deep reverie...where one is somehow held by the sound of the surf". In other words he believes that to be happy you have to relax and go somewhere that you can clear your mind and focus on the good things in your life. Iyer believes that "happiness, like peace or passion, comes most freely when it isn't pursued". He is insisting that we should be thankful for what we have and we don't need material things to be prosperous and happy. In Steindalrast's view "It is not happiness that makes us grateful, it is gratefulness that makes us happy". He believes that we should appreciate every moment that we have. I agree with all of there views on happiness they have opened my eyes and made me feel more gratitude.
