Measuring Happiness

 Is there a broader or more open-ended question posed than “Are you happy”? I believe the only person who is uniquely qualified to answer that query is the one to whom it is being asked. Likewise they are the best candidates in deciding which measuring sticks should be used.

We all long for happiness but how many  know what truly creates it within? When was the last time you thought about your own happiness or even what makes you happy. Contemplating our own happiness and acquiring it ought to add up at least to a measurable amount of our time.

Most anyone who is asked if money brings happiness will typically answer with the obligatory “no” yet it continues to be emphasized at every level. Is that because in some ways…… it is a very tangible way of measuring success?

I am looking forward to your thoughts.
