A friend once asked when it could be said that one is either happy or sad, and in response I had this to say.
________________________________________________________
Happiness isn't a thing that happens down the road, or a mood that comes once in a while. It is an active sense of feeling, borne out of the in-depth knowledge of self. You're either happy or you're not, there's no in-betweens.
When a large part of your emotions is spent waiting for the occurrence of an event to propel you into the realm of pure bliss, then you might have just lost the meaning of happiness and true rest.
At this point, it could be said that you aren't living maximally, and what you have termed happiness could be likened to a boss, who's never satisfied and would always have so many more tasks to 'dish-out' in order for you to grow wit to execute just another one -a tail of an insatiable desire.
Happiness is discovering who you are, it is finding your heart, loving yourself, expressing the joy garnered inside-out, and offering the same measure of gifts acquired unto others, regardless of who deserves what or not
By so doing, you'd have gained mastery over your mind and obtained pure happiness.
Therefore, regardless of your thought-pattern or belief, make a decision to not wait for anyone or events before you choose to be happy.
...then and only then can you live happily ever after...
