Happiness is defined by websites dictionary as "the quality or state of being happy." I define happiness is just enjoying the moment that is given to you. I find happiness in many things; kicking a soccer ball on a warm spring day, going for a swim in the summer, having a nice meal with my family. Happiness as Pico Iyer states, "happiness, like peace or passion, comes most when it is not pursued." When we aren't looking to find happiness, happiness always seems to find its way to us. To be happy we must be able to live in the moment. Simon Critchly puts it very simply, "time is nothing but the experience or the present through which one passes without hurry, but without regret." We must be able to live in the moment we are in.  Happiness is just being able to enjoy the moment that you are in.
