How do emotions, social relations, and goals influence happiness?

What will be an ideal response?

First, happy people report a higher frequency of positive emotions and a lower frequency of negative emotions than people who are less happy. A higher frequency of positive emotions leads people to think and act in ways that help to broaden and build their emotional, physical, and social resources. Second, good social relations with other people—friends, family, romantic partners—is an important ingredient for being happy. Such close relationships are available to all people, regardless of personal wealth. Finally, many studies indicate that people who have concrete goals, especially realistic ones, and who feel they are making progress toward those goals, are happier than people who lack goals.
