Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have says Sonja

Lyubomirsky, who researches happiness, She found happy people are more

productive, have more friends and longer lasting marriages. They are more

creative, generous, helpful, disciplined, and feel healthier. " Ruut

Veenhoven, a Rotterdam based professor who manages the World Database of

Happiness, which compares happiness levels in societies around the world.

Veenhoven states you know you're happy when you feel good most of the time.

His definition of happiness is having your overall needs met by living

where you want to and choosing work that you like to do rather than on how

much

money you earn. "
