How Happy Are You? - Important Questions to Ask Yourself

Updated: Aug 27, 2024

How Happy Are You?


A desire to be happy is something that almost everyone has in common. However, achieving happiness can be challenging, as can recognizing when you have attained the state of contentment you seek. Every life will have ups and downs, and so it is helpful if we have a gauge by which to judge whether we have achieved happiness or not. To know what true happiness feels like, ask yourself the following questions.



Important questions to ask yourself to know if you are truly happy


Am I excited to wake up every day?

This is a tell-tale sign about your inner happiness. Do you wake up each morning ready to face the day, or do you feel anxious and fearful? It is difficult to be happy if you are starting off each morning in a negative way.


Am I excited about my primary job?

Whether you are working, attending school, or doing something else… you should feel a sense of anticipation when you think about being there. There are certain things we must do, like pay the rent, so your decision to work may not be an option. You do, however, have an option as to where you work. If you don’t like it, change it.


Am I happy with the people I spend the majority of my time with?

The individuals with whom you invest most of your time are the ones who will exert the most significant impact on you. If they exhibit bitterness, lack motivation, and provide discouragement, it is likely that you will adopt similar traits over time. If your companions fail to inspire you, seek out new ones. Allocate your spare time to those who will bring more joy into your life and assist you in building positive experiences that contribute to lasting happiness..


Do I like the person I am?

A key component to happiness is liking and loving yourself for who you are. If you don’t, then you need to figure out why. Make necessary changes, and then choose to love yourself despite your flaws.


Am I eager about what lies ahead in my future?

Happiness includes feeling confident and secure about your future. We live in uncertain times, but that doesn’t mean that we have to live every day in fear. Grow your confidence in small ways, and consider counseling if you feel more than occasional stress when you think about the future ahead.


What is my life purpose?

Everyone has a life purpose. There is something about you that makes you a unique gift to the world. If you have not discovered this about yourself yet, your self-esteem will suffer, as will your happiness. There are many questionnaires and books dedicated to discovering your life purpose. Consider investing your time to learn more and find what makes you feel most fulfilled in life.


Happiness is not a trivial wish. Understanding your own nature and the key to finding happiness within yourself and your life is crucial. Reflecting on these questions and considering your responses will set you on the path to genuine happiness.
