It's not luck of the draw, nor is it simply the things that happen to us in life. I know people who have lives many of us would envy, but happiness still alludes them. I've seen children in poverty still finding reasons to dance and laugh. Happiness happens when we decide to focus on things that will make us happy.
Appreciate, give value to what you already have. As the pace of life gets quicker, we take less and less time to simply stop and enjoy all the wonderful things that are happening. Instead, we find ourselves competing and comparing ourselves with those around us, and that rarely results in any happiness. Our lives are simply what we focus on, and if we have a negative focus, then don't be surprised when life feels the same way.
Nothing good comes from feeling sorry for yourself. Seeing yourself as a victim of life won't do much to improve things. Take responsibility for your happiness, and then you'll actually find some power to make better.
Being happy is a skill, and like any skill, it requires practice, the earlier we start, the better off we are.
