Must your happiness depend on someone?

Happiness that depend on others last only for a short time. So your happiness should not depend on others!!! Do you agree?

The choice is yours
If you wish to live a day filled with anger, you can choose to be angry. Or if you wish to live a day filled with joy, you can choose to be joyful.
This day does not make the choice for you, and no other person makes that choice either. The choice is entirely up to you.
Why can some people be happy even when times are hard while others are filled with despair even when all is well? It is the individual, internal choice, not the external circumstance, that ultimately determines how life is experienced.
In fact, it is more than that. Because whatever is going on in your own mind and feelings will soon be happening in your outer world.
This day is yours to choose. This life is yours to choose.
As long as you have the choice, you might as well choose the very best. Decide how you truly wish to live, for right now the choice is yours.

As much as I would love to say that your happiness can all depend on you, I think this is false when you dig deep. Happiness comes from many things, it could be your family, your job, your friends, a significant other, etc. All of these things come from other people though. Though you may have worked really hard to get that job that you love and makes you happy, someone else helped you to get that job, or is making sure that job exists.

Yes my happiness depends on my family. When I see them happy, smile comes on my face automatically. As being an owner of transcription home based business, I use to spend more time with my family for which I am thankful to this home based business which enabled me to make money and spend much time with mu family.

if think about it really, it kind of does in an indirect way. when adam was in the garden of eden, he felt alone so God gave him his better half. even today, you ca n have all that you want in the world, money, a big house, nice car etc. but if you have no one to share it with then its all useless and worthless! you share your joy with family, friends, people in your community, whoever is close to you.

Yes happiness can be shared with other people, but I think it shouldn't solely depend on other people. The moment you let someone know your happiness depend on him/her, they tamper with it, because they feel you can't live without them.
Make yourself Happy and share your happiness with others to make it lively.
So Pamella, sharing happiness with others is different from depending on them for that happiness.

It can be both. If you have someone who cares about you especially family members, that is the greatest joy to have and seeing them happy makes your life has a meaning as well. Sometimes happiness also depends on you, whether you are contend and satisfied with everything happening around you. Wealth doesn’t guarantee happiness, self fulfillment, yes, achievements, maybe but that depends on how you look at things but as I’ve said, it still goes back to whether you want to think positively or otherwise.

I quite side with you on this mandy, wealth is sure not a guarantee to happiness.
In fact, a friend once told me that wealth is sometimes a key to unhappiness, relative to a notion that more riches more problems which are sometimes hard to resolve.
