Who holds your happiness?

Good answer :)

I believe only I can hold my true happiness, that there has to be something within the self that allows one to accept things that bring them joy. That there needs to be internal self-love and acceptance, desire and want as well as love of other things for happiness to grow inside.

I do believe that other things and people can precipitate happiness, but I don't think they hold it. I think you can find joy in others, that they can hold their own happiness which might be infectious and flow outward, but still if internally things are not right with you, it would be lost and plant seeds.

So, if you're happy with yourself, then you feel happiness easier?

[f-l-i-r-t.livejournal.com]

Yes...

If I am unhappy with me, if I feel I am undeserving, or have not earned it or whatever other negative internal demons scream loudest then I find it hard to feel 'true happiness'. I find it hard to let it grow inside, or to let external happiness come in and nurture my own seeds of happiness. Does this make any sense? *blush*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yes, it makes sense :)

[maeghanne.livejournal.com]

me.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup.

I think that in an ideal world we would all hold our own happiness. But in my world at least my happiness is held by whom ever I am interacting with at the time. In order for me to be happy there must be some harmony. Thus if I am with someone else then they also have the ability to effect the harmony of the situation, thus allowing them to hold at least a part of my happiness. However when I am alone my happiness resides within me.

An excellent answer, Dave...

Interacting with people has as much scope for happiness as it does fear...

[voldelange.livejournal.com]

i think only i could hold my own happiness :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A good answer

[kabandra.livejournal.com]

At this moment- me. :/
At least I'm accountable.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Accountability is good :)

[fire-fox01.livejournal.com]

I think I hold my happiness, though there are people who make me happy to be around them.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Good answer... :)

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

I do. It's *MY* choice/decision if I want to be happy or not.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[lilgeorgiawhore.livejournal.com]

I do -- I control how I react to different situations and people and if those reactions adds to my happiness level. Other people do contribute to my happiness, but in the end I'm the one who has the ultimate power.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup, indeed...

[evergladesqueen.livejournal.com]

obvious answer is ME, but really...
don't tell anyone the truth.
my lil girlz are the real answer! LOL
*hugs*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Heheh... yes, kids can do that :)

[evergladesqueen.livejournal.com]

oh but these are not HUMAN kids.
I am speaking of these lil girlz...


LOL
*hugs*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Oh *those* lil girlz! Awwwwwwwwwwwww :D

[msshopaholic.livejournal.com]

[msshopaholic.livejournal.com]

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Me, of course.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup!

[photodiva02.livejournal.com]

Me...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed :)

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

I'm not so sure I ever had any for anyone to hold actually. Complacancy I have an abundance of, but happiness has pretty much eluded me.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Happiness can be in a moment as simple as completing a poem... You have a great talent my friend, and you can find happiness in it...

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Me!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup!

[suburbiadaze.livejournal.com]

ME. It's right here, see? In my hand where it does little good. Must go get glass of water. No, kidding. No meds for me anymore. I like crazy.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

Crazy is good :D

[mousie.livejournal.com]

OK... i have to interject here.. and if you want, hit the ejection button anytime lol.
I think that the *right * answer would be that we hold our own. But I am willing to bet, that alot of people base how they are feeling by the way things are going with someone important to them. I know I know... its not the answer that most want to hear , or admit to. But I think it happens more often then we realize.
Think about it. You are in love...things are solid... you feel content , and happy. Things get rocky, it's harder to feel that way. It's not the way it should be, ideally, and I realize alot will say.. but you yourself can change that.. and yes, I know this.
I just think that people need to be more aware, that this phenomonon of putting our happiness into someone else's hands (or heart for that matter) does happen, and it does effect how we are feeling.
I know Im gonna get alot of protest on this one. I am not blanketing everyone with this thought.. I am just trying to bring some awareness..

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Why would I eject?

And yes, although people won't necessarily admit it, I think you're right :)

[huggscancer.livejournal.com]

me, but not very often

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Once you get it again, don't let it go...

[huggscancer.livejournal.com]
