Many people assume that to get happiness is very difficult and requires a struggle and drain a lot of cost to be able to get a sense of happiness. Someone will be considered happy if you have a lot of money, luxury cars, beautiful wives, eat well and sleep soundly in a soft bed. I do not want to say that opinion is wrong, nor will I argue that the view is wrong.

But let's reflect on ourselves for a moment, do we ever feel happy without having all the above? I'm sure ever. If so, then happy is not necessarily lavish, because happy is not always present in terms of matter. Then what is the real happy?

In my opinion, the real happiness that comes from within a person's heart while feeling something that can make him smile and laugh with gratitude to what is owned and live the life process with a simple lifestyle. Keep in mind that simple is not poor. Poor is fate whereas simple is the lifestyle or the way we live life.

If we are clever to be grateful for what we have then our hearts will be calm then happy is created by itself. So the meaning of true happiness is the peace of one's heart in living life.

But to maintain peace is not easy, because it has become commonplace humans that we have lust. The desire to have what others have, the desire to get something more than others, the desire to show that we are the best among the others.

This lust is actually a great enemy that prevents happiness from being present in us, the person who promotes lust will be away from the calm, the person who is far from calm will never be happy. Hence the assertion that being happy must have all material needs will be denied by itself.

In addition to controlling the lust it should be remembered also that positive thinking also greatly affect someone to be happy, because by thinking positively, one will be able to control stress stress if he always think positive, stress in human stress is also a barrier to happiness. People who always think positive is also able to make it healthier, because the condition of a person's body is strongly influenced by the mind of the person itself. In addition to positive thinking then someone will easily establish friendships with anyone, we need to remember that happy to be present from friendship that we have, or happy that comes from external.
