In The Pursuit Of Happiness, in the pursuit of happiness Options

Hey Fellow fishos

here is a question to make you all think ,

What is Happiness ?

i thought it was to do with having a nice house, a great wife :angry wife: , and a nice boat,

boy am i wrong,

so how does some one find happiness ?

[Smelly]

Hustler,

Being happy has nothing to do with having and everything to do with BEING!!!




Hope this helps

I see your mistake hustler you put boat at the end

I am blessed with a good wife she doesn't mind me going fishing a lot , as this makes me happy.
and in turn I try to make her happy . all these things we have , house boat cars are no good if your not happy.
you have to take time out from this rat race to enjoy life.

this is doctor steve , I also read palms

[Christos]

We each have our own ways and things that we love doing.

I love going to work as this is where I have fun. Fishing, also another place to have fun. Doing something for someone, another way of having fun.

Where am I going with this. For me the simple things are the things that allows me to have fun and be happy. Others prefer to have someone wait on them.

It does come down to your own self, to be a peace with your self.

for me it is not the big things like money and things for me it is the small things a walk on the beach, a coffee with friends, a quite day fishing, a good book, to relax on a worm day with the family that is what makes me happy

[Fed]

I'm happy just waking up every morning.

[kkw]

Me too Fed. I check my pulse before I get out of bed, just to make sure I am still alive.

but have u ever tried to check if u are brain dead, that is the only thing i can't do i have to ask the wife if am makin any sense at 4.30am in the morning :o :o

[Fed]

Just having a re-read of Huster's question to give him a serious answer to this.
The one single standout thing in my life which made me happy was having no debt, it's a real good feeling.

[SUMOFISHIN]

OK I second FED's Motion, Only problem is by the time that happens you start to wonder how much time you have left to enjoy it.

[hustler57]

yep the problem is you start to die from the moment you are born,

so im still looking

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I've got a question for all ewe married guys ??

Why is it you spend all your time looking for a wife & after you found one, spend your remaining lives trying to run away from her ???

[Spudly]

Im an alcoholic!

But I dont let anything hold me back, i get out and do the things i want!

And I have the girl that I love!!!

Being around the people you love, doing things you love, generally the simple things...

[SUMOFISHIN]

Jumpus it's just a one liner,

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

that is a strange thing to say J G it is obvious that u have never been in a state of marital bliss with out that very special lady happyness would be much harder for me to achive.
it is the very small thing i remember the birth of a son and our daughter these are not great achievments in there own right as many people do it day in and day out.i can still remember the day my daughter caught her first fish and the excitement she displayed.my sons first sailing experience was spmething that i will never forget at aged 5 trying to get me to make the boat go faster as my age advances these are the things that bring me happiness along with many memories to many to mention,i will recount one of a warm summer evening and a walk on the beach with my beloved possum.it was 9 months later that my son was born.
