True happiness is found in life's little pleasures. As I have grown up I have realized that not every day is going to be a life-changing day, but that every day has moments that change your life. I find my happiness in the little moments of life where I take a step back and realize how special it is to be living this life. Here are 50 moments that define happiness.

Happiness is such an important part of living life. I once thought that to be happy things around you have to change when in reality the complete opposite is true. You must be happy in yourself and find things that make you happy. There is always something that can make you upset and ruin your day, so focus on the little things that make you happy and you will be happy.
