For all living creatures on earth, happiness is at least the one thing we seek and desire. When people confront sadness and disappointment, we always encouraged them to be happy. But why is happiness important to us?

One thing is for sure, through millions of researches we have done, we finally found the necessary correlation between happiness and health. Compared with people who spend most of their time being unhappy and complaining about how unfairly they are treated, those who feel happy on a daily basis tend to live a much healthier life. Apart from that,according to study, the feeling of happiness can stimulate our brain to generate some kind of chemical substance, which is said to inspire our creativity and imagination. That’s how we can see the importance of happiness.

However happiness is quite difficult to define,because it means so many different things for different people. While some people link happiness to wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships. Yet others think that spiritual paths, rather than either the material world or relationships with people, are the only way to happiness.

So what matters to improve our happiness index? Initially, happiness lies, first, in health. There’s no doubt that people who lead a healthy lifestyle are inclined to be happier than those who live against natural rhythm. Furthermore, experts have suggested that maintaining bonding and close relationships with friends and family are of great help in enhancing happiness level.

Overall, it’s all up to us in terms of achieving happiness each of us desire.
