I think Matthieu Ricard gives an excellent <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/191" title="Matthieu Ricard on happiness at TED" rel="nofollow">definition of happiness</a> in his TED talk. My take away was that happiness is a deep, inner state of contentment, serenity. That's along the lines of how I define happiness. I believe one can find a form of happiness in being very busy. It's almost like meditation. The mind is fully occupied, so it can feel content. But, I also believe, that in the little gaps of quiet, when one is not busy, one quickly loses that happiness. I think the happiness is linked to the activity. So long as one is busy, one can remain happy. My personal aim is to work towards the underlying state of happiness which pervades every other state. @Jason: Thanks for sharing.

I don't suggest the entrepreneurial life for everyone. however, I've never been so happy in my life, and I've never worked so hard. So, I'm not sure what to make of that. :-) Great meeting you… I don’t suggest the entrepreneurial life for everyone. however, I’ve never been so happy in my life, and I’ve never worked so hard.
