Happiness is the greatest mystery of humankind since love. Everyone seems to have a different idea of what it means to be happy, and what you need in your life to truly feel it. Some people spend most of their lives searching for it, while others are simply glad to be alive.

In 2011, the United Nations introduced a survey called the World Happiness Report, which they have conducted every year since then. It's the first-ever study to use happiness as a measurement of international development, and weighs factors such as GDP per capita, life expectancy, and social freedom in over 155 countries. The 2017 Report, published in February, listed Norway as the world's happiest country.

Here at Bored Panda, we don't exactly have the means to conduct a full international survey, but we did put together some comics about happiness to get your serotonin flowing. Tell us in the comments what makes you happy, and share this with a friend who might need a little boost today.

Wisely put, but I still want to be myself and follow my desires. ^_- ♥

    People see, based on their perception. If you are always looking out for the bad, you will always find negative, when you appreciate and look for the good, you will see positive. Change your perception, change the way you see life.

    Noticing is nice, but positive thinking is what makes it all come together.

    Most people have a mindset that when everything goes okay, it's normal, regular, obvious. That's why they react when soemthing doesn't fit.

    This is also why some people tend to disrespect others, and only give critics and never compliments. Because they don't notice they're valuable until the moment they make a mistake, or they're gone somewhere else. Same goes for how we tend to value our own body and health.

    Everything comes in cycles. Appreciate the cycle and happiness will come naturally.
