Individuals search for happiness, however different individuals may have different

definitions of it. Happiness is usually defined as an emotional state that is marked by joy,
fullness, contentment, and satisfaction. Happiness may mean many various things, but it's
commonly understood to involve pleasant feelings and a sense of fulfillment in life.

Since the term happy tends to be so widely used, while discussing this emotional
state, psychologists and other social scientists usually refer to it as "subjective well-being."
Subjective well-being, as the name suggests, is centered on an individual's general subjective
impressions of their current existence.

Most individuals tend to refer to their current state of mind or a broader sense of their
feelings about life in general when they discuss what they believe to be the genuine meaning
of happiness.

People sometimes have different ideas about happiness. Some believe that happiness is
a gift of fate, luck, chance, others that happiness depends entirely on a person, his character,
will and aspirations. As Jean-Jacques Rousseau put it, "The art of being happy is the
realization that happiness is in your hands." One thing is undeniable. Happiness is a state
characterized by positive or pleasant emotions, which in turn cause a happy state of
satisfaction.

We women need so little to be happy. Perhaps most important is the joy of


motherhood. Even during pregnancy, when the fetus is just beginning to form, we feel
perfectly happy. Then when you hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time, you yourself
are happy like a little child. Just the thought that after months you will embrace a part of
yourself, you will give life to a new being, already gives you great happiness. This is followed
by hearing the baby's first steps, first words. These are indescribable emotions. Words cannot
describe the moment when you see your child for the first time.

For me, happiness has only one name: my child. The joy of motherhood is the most
positive, irreplaceable happiness-giving emotion in the world.

It is true that most of the time during pregnancy we are sometimes overcome by the
emotion of sadness, but the desire to hug and feel your child drives away all negative
emotions. As a new mother, these moments are the sweetest and happiest moments of my
life. There even comes a moment when I don't believe in this miracle, and it seems to me
that this is characteristic of all new mothers, and I think that the happiest moments for all
mothers are precisely these moments, which also give us tears of happiness. It is said for
nothing that you will not understand your parent until you become a mother.

Motherhood has always been the highest idea and calling. It is through motherhood
that a woman becomes a participant in divine creation. They say that by giving birth to a
new life, by creating, a woman resembles God.
