Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant, it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliance, please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

What is your defination of happiness?
Being self indulge with your own piorities in life and be rich, famous and acheiving your dreams? Doing things that makes you owned? Being an ego b*stard and a selfish showoff?
or
Making others smile even you are the one crying? Putting others before self? However by doing so you are putting yourself at the losing end.
Looking at it again, there are bad points of happiness.
So is happiness truly happiness or is it only temporary?
Maybe I should ask myself what really makes me happy.
Hafiz: So Hafiz, what makes you happy?
Me: When I'm down, I'll pick up the guitar and strum a few notes. Get the blues away.
Hafiz: Isn't that emo?? How can that makes you happy?
Me: Well, it relieves everything that bothering me. Let it all out from within. At the end of the
process, I feel light and it put a smile on my face. And who knows it might be the next top hits on the radio, haha
Hafiz: I see, what other things that makes you happy?
Me: hanging out with best friends and buddies. Listening to their nonsensical. It makes me burst out laughing non stop. I miss those days when I could not stop laughing. Having my family around also makes me happy. Especially with my little brother. Just love to play and mess around with him (evil laugh)
Hafiz: So friends do play an important role in your happiness ya?
Me: YERP!! They may not listen to my sorrows, since I prefer to keep it to myself and the one who really knows me well, but they will always hear my laughter.
Hafiz:Does acheiving something makes you happy?
Me: It does. It proves me that I am capable of acheiving such feat.
Hafiz: How about being rich and famous? Does that makes you happy?
Me: To a certain extent yes. Being rich will strike off all the financial problems and worries away. When money is not a problem. Furthermore I can bum my ass anywhere without worrying about money. However, what is the point of being rich but no one to share the great wonderful life with? Money is not everything. Being famous is good because every living soul wants to be acknowledged and recognized. It makes you feel a sense of importance and a job well done. But being famous might result in plenty of flash lights and noises. I prefer a peaceful life, like calm sea with stars on the black velvet sky.
Hafiz: So you not a materialistic kind of guy huh?
Me: Nope. The stuff that I bought is a necessity, not luxury.
Hafiz: So can I conclude that interaction with people is more important to you then material.
Me: Yes. The people around me are important for my happiness. Without them, I won't be here.
Hafiz: Thank you so much for your time. Its nice to know you better.
Me: Your welcome.

Now, ask yourself these questions and know yourself better and know what is your true defination of happiness. =)
