The reason we don't find happiness in our life is because we invest our thoughts and emotions into temporary things which are subject to change.
Drugs, Alcohol, television, sex, junk food , vacations. etc.
We always try and get the next fix of happiness from an external source believing that it will make us happy but each of these desires when for-filled is short lived. Its really the same mentality as drug addict looking to get his or her next temporary fix. Sure its a little less exterm in most cases but the root cause is the same.
What we find is that by living in the present moment and accepting it , the happiness was here along.
The next question one needs to ask is what is the greatest source of happiness? That source is love.
When say we want to be happy we are really saying we want to be loved.
Be the love in the moment.
