What makes you happy?
<p>I have been thinking about this question recently; in fact, I often think about it :)</p>
<p>The most common answers I hear are money, power, recognition etc.</p>
<p>The least heard answers are job satisfaction, quality relationships, and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Money</strong> can indeed buy (affect) happiness. If my salary doubled overnight, I’d be lying if I’m not happy. However, I question whether a money-boost would drench me in lasting happiness over several months, let alone years or an entire lifetime. In fact, I may sleep for a couple of hours and then it doesn’t feel anything — experienced this :)</p>
<p>Furthermore, there’s a limit to money-linked happiness. Once we hit a basic psychological ceiling, additional money doesn’t help; in fact, it could do the opposite.</p>
<p><strong>Positive relationships</strong>, some say, are a powerful predictor of life satisfaction. For instance, nurturing strong bonds with family, friends, and relatives significantly enhances our happiness, as evidenced by an 80-year-long Harvard study. Well-Noted.</p>
