In today's society where there is a growing number of stressed and depressed people and increasing prescriptions for the drug Prozac, happiness is no longer something taken for granted. It has been become the elusive thing that people want. In this article, you will find three fundamental ideas that will help you get a perspective on happiness, and how perhaps how you could heighten it in your life. The three ideas are: having security (physical and financial), being satisfied where you are despite external circumstances and having a bigger goal that you are pursuing. They are described in more detail here:

Basic security and safety needs must be met

To have happiness, one prerequisite is to have our basic security and safety needs met. If you live in a troubled household or neighborhood, constantly frightened of being harassed or physically attacked, there can be a lot of anxiety. Where appropriate, it may be advisable to seek help from public service organizations. Another aspect of this is being financially secure. If you are scrounging for dollars to put food on the table or pay the rent, it may also be difficult to sit back and be happy. There is probably too much pressure on fulfilling the basic needs of having a roof over your head and food to fill your stomach.

Being at peace with where you are

Another aspect of having happiness is being at peace with what you have. If whatever you have at this moment is acceptable to you and you are at peace with it, then you are likely someone who experiences happiness. To take this idea one step further, even if you live in an unsafe home and currently have no money as described above, being at peace with where you are, you are probably more happy than many with a lot more money and good homes.

Who determines how peaceful you are at each moment? That is a question you have to answer for yourself. You can really get totally different perspectives from different people, even if their external circumstances look the same. You can find two persons who have the same upbringing, status, money, looks, talents and more; and one can be very appreciative and at peace with his or her current situation while the another person could be wallowing in turmoil and disappointment.

Having a bigger goal for your life

The third idea is having a bigger goal that you are pursuing. Like what Steve Jobs says, "The journey is the reward." Regardless of where you are in life now, there is something immense and touching about having the freedom to pursue a bigger goal. This is not contradictory to the point above. You can be at peace with where you are at and still be on the journey to something more expanded.

Life becomes like an adventure, instead of a boring treadmill. You get to stretch yourself everyday, learn new things and contribute to yourself and others. The journey itself is what makes for happiness. So there you have it, these are three important ideas to consider. I hope that presenting these ideas will give you enough food for thought to gain more happiness in your life.
