In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage, also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last;loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complex.
My dictionary explains “happy” as “lucky” or“fortunate”. but I think a better explanation of happiness is“the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy for us not to notice the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to love where we please, even good health. Nowadays,
with so many choices and much pressure, we have turned happiness into one more thing we have. We think we own the right to have it, which makes us extremely unhappy. So we try hard to get it and consider it to be the same as wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
While happiness may be more complex for us, the answer is the same as ever. Happiness isn’t about what happens to us. It’s the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge. Don’t be sad for what we don’t have, but enjoy what we do possess.

.
A.think of something extraordinary
