What makes you happy?

"What makes you happy?" That is a question that I got today.
The first things that came to mind were: Freedom. Funny people. Road trips. Sleeping in. Feeling important/ needed. Making other people happy. & Sunsets.

When I was asked this question... I was taken back by it. It is such a simple question, yet so incredibly powerful. Sometimes I get a nagging feeling... like I want more out of life. I feel that way a lot. I need to do more. I need to be more. I need to be happier. It is overwhelming to think of all of the things I want to do in life and what I want to become.

Honestly, all that matters is happiness. If that is my main goal, how do I get there? Well, it's simple: By doing things that make me happy and arranging my life so I can enjoy things like freedom, sunsets and feeling needed.

What makes you happy?
I'm curious. Post your answer(s) as a comment.

  2. well if you really wanna know what makes me happy its my friends and family, peace, love sunflowers, the beach, my dog, when people accept me for who i am and they dont judge me, when i feel accepted, when i feel wanted, when i can be myself around someone, when i help people accomplish their goals, and help them achieve something they never thought they could do, and just living my life to the fullest and being able to take whatever life throws my way!:)
