Do some circumstances, people, events and things make you happy? Or does happiness come from within you?

Many people spend a lifetime searching for happiness. Ironically, the only place they ever needed to search was within. In this world, only you can bring happiness to yourself. Nothing else will.

The secret to happiness is actually satisfaction. Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. To rich people, some of them still depress of what they own doesn't that satisfy the amount of what they want to have. Happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreaciating what we do have. It is notthe absence of problems but the ability to deal with them.

It was proven
Psychologists Dr Michael McCullough and Dr Robert Emmons found that being grateful make people happier.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful" - Herman Cain

The root of happiness is helpfulness. Some pursue happiness - others create it.
