Happiness, to me, is the small chunks of euphoria on the road to death. Don't get me wrong, I am generally content. I am happy when (no particular order):

I find new music that gives me the chills.
I watch a game of SC2 that gives me nerd chills.
When I understand something new which widens my perspective (e.g. learning general relativity thus improving understanding of (newtonian) gravity.)
Getting intoxicated with my friends.
Getting intimate with a ladyfriend.
...list goes on.

I am a simple man. As long as I keep improving myself, to be the best that I can be, I am content.
I declare war on the macfags and the faildows users. ENSLAVE THE INFIDELS!

To be frank, playing SC2 is not worth it most of the time in your life. There are so many other things that are valued better by societies than SC2 skill. Although nobody is stopping you from taking a risky path, if you are unhappy doing so, maybe you should find something else in life. Finding yourself unhappy just because you are not a SC2 champion is rather spoiled or luxurious idea.

Happiness is learning new things.

Trying your best to prove something to yourself, just to achieve your own goals. This can be anything, SC2, rock climbing (in my case), or finding the calm it takes to really enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.

From another view, I can't be happy if I feel like I'm not being true to the person I want to be. This kind of goes along with learning new things, without stopping to evaluate yourself you'll never grow, and continuing to be a better person, a better citizen, or a better friend should always be a goal. Happiness comes with knowing you've made a positive impact on your universe.

Happiness is being spontaneous and jumping out of your shell! Traveling the world thinking you know about what it's like and learning you are completely wrong but picking up amazing experiences, friends and stories along the way.

You've got plenty to be happy about my friend, and if there's sadness around you, distance yourself from it. Protect yourself with a pair of headphones, some good music and a fun game of SCII where you're not trying to be the best but rather enjoying it.

The sun is shining, the tunes are rocking and the world is waiting. Don't waste it.
Keep your oars in the brothel where they belong.

Pretty much this. I often think how different would be my life if I had 1m or even 100k in my bank account. I'd hop in a plane and to go see friends, attend events, visit places all over the world.

I have a good life. Bought a condo this year, I have a good job, great family, tons of friends but I can't seem to find happiness. I can't stop to think how different I would do things, talk to people and live everyday life If I could really do what I want and what I love.

Well,

Happiness never last. You can be happy with another person but life is often a biatch. When you are one of the people who always get dragged down it sucks.

That said for me is happiness when you don't fell the pain and you are far away from the worst pain you eher encountered in your life. So never try to be more and more happy but be always far away from your worst state

This is what I picked up:

Happiness never lasts, but so does sorrow. There are always two forces at work, anywhere you look. What people don't realise is that these two forces don't have to be balanced or always on one side. The concept of past, and future, and a distorted perception of the present keeps people running for the greener grass on the other side of the fence. What some don't realize is that their perfect present is already there, it doesn't require any thought, it's just an imperfect mind that can mess it up. This is where drugs can't but meditation can help.
- This contains some segments from universal truth (http://www.truthcontest.com/entries/the-present-universal-truth/)

Even if you had anything (materialistic) you wished for in the world, if you didn't find peace with yourself you would still never find hapiness, distraction at best.
- This is something that I've heard elderly say a couple of times.
- One does not simply walk into a bar and start calling the shots.
- Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.

This is a good video for a lot of reasons. I've watched a few times. The first part I think will help you.

I think seeing my mother again would spark something in me that would spark true happiness. I couldn't think of anything better.

Happiness is the feeling of beating out other people and being the best at something, or at least being the best at something that you can possibly be.
Happiness is doing what you love every day for the rest of your life.

No regrets. Being healthy.

Everything else to me I consider a luxury.
