           Where does the happiness comes from? The answer to this question differs from person to person because there is no exact standard of happiness. Some may feel happy about a certain thing but other people may not feel happy about the same thing. The sources of happiness are different for everyone but there are few common sources of happiness such as money, family and health.

           First of all, money can make us feel happy. Some people say happiness doesn't depend on our financial status. However, I can hardly agree with this statement because happiness is not all about money but we can be happier with our financial stability. Every people have desire to be rich deep inside their heart. With more money, we can eat better quality of food, better house and live better life. Living a better life than other people with money can surely give happiness to people.

           Moreover, family is also the common source of happiness. Relationship with people takes great part of happiness in our life and we can consider life as repetition of meeting and parting with people. From this cycle, we get to know many people and grow relationship with them. Not every relationship will be happy for us but there are some relationships that make us live happy life. Those relationships will be family, lover and close friends. Among those relationships, we should be happiest with the existence of family because they are our only blood relationship in the world and they are the ones whom we can truly depend and rely on.

Finally, health is the most important source of happiness. People often forget about the fact that we can truly be happy about something when we are healthy. But we don't realize this until we become unhealthy.  There are numerous things that can make us happy but they are useless with our wellbeing. Other sources come to nothing if we become unhealthy because we can't do things that we feel happy about. So we should be able to feel happiness with our healthiness and feel thankful about it.

           To sum up, happiness is not a hard thing to search for. If we feel satisfaction in our life, we can feel happiness in everything.  Also we should be a people who search for happiness not a people who search for their misfortune. When we are used to see the world as a happy place, we will live a happier life.
