@Barbara: The flow state is one of the best ways to achieving happiness, and I agree that a lot of people feel they don’t deserve happiness. I guess they feel that they’re supposed to suffer and they feel guilt over wanting to have happy, glorious lives.

@Shilpan: I think we should always try to schedule some sort of pleasure into our day, such as walking in nature, like you suggest.

@Rita: I think one of the keys to happiness is focusing on things we can control and then acting on those things. I don’t think a parent can control how their adult child dresses, and it’s something that is not incredibly important, so I would just focus on her positive qualities (in the hypothetical example).

@Al: I did come across a couple of articles written by her during my research, and I liked what she had to say. Thank you for talking about her in your comment.

@Bamboo: I agree that humility is a trait that can lead to happiness. For me humility is closely related to being appreciative of everything in your life, including the small things. Gratitude is one of those emotions that has been shown to increase happiness.

I feel Aristotle’s point is accurate.

There may be extreme cases where happiness is extremely hard to attain, but I believe even then, it is possible.

Another factor of being happy is having humility. A humble spirit is much more conducive to happiness than someone who can not be happy with what they have.

Humility goes a long way in being happy.
