Happiness comes from within, not from external factors like money, possessions or other people. True happiness is found by appreciating life's simple pleasures like nature, good health and each new day. When people attach their happiness to achieving goals or receiving approval from others, they set themselves up for unhappiness. But by training the mind to find beauty in every situation, and realizing that our own hearts are responsible for our happiness, we can learn to be happy regardless of life's ups and downs.
