A mental or emotional state, that gives pleasant or positive emotions, which may range from contentment to extreme joy, is called Happiness.Happiness is just living a good life, according to most of the philosophers and religious thinkers.

However, the idea of happiness differs for everyone. To each and every person, happiness has its own definition. The level of happiness always depends upon our passions, expectations, life experiences, and also our personalities. For some, happiness means having a good career, while others attain happiness in their family life, or intimate relationships. Happiness is actually a state of mind. You can be happy even when things are not working your way.
