Happiness is a choice. Your circumstances don't get to decide if you have a happy life or not. Only you do. The people you are referring to just haven't figured it out yet. They're still blaming the world, circumstances, others for their problems. If they would just learn to appreciate what they do have and be happy more good things would continue to come into their experience. Dr. Wayne Dyer says "what you focus on expands" and he's right. I've tried it and compeletely turned my life around.

Before you roll out of bed in the morning, count your blessings, and tell yourself your are going to have a good day.  Give gratitude in all things. Rejoice in your health. Volunteer for a good cause.  Do at least one thing, anonymously every day that makes someone else happy.  Practice a hobby you love.  Love what you do. Meditate. Pray.  Watch some good comedys.  Read some upbeat or self help books.  Take a class.  Take a walk.  Take it easy.

Hi,\n\nI don't think you can make someone happy if they just don't want to be happy, try to find out what the problem is and get that person help if need be! It could be a deeper problem then you think!

lift weights, jog, get a massage from a licenced masseuse.  Do  something to make yourself happy again.   You have to make yourself happy before you spread happiness to other people. A doctor or pill ain't going to do it for you.  Exercise at least releases endorphins into the bloodstream and helps regulate mood.

First of all one should try to THINK POSITIVE. Expect good things happening to you, cause there is something called self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe in something possible strong enough, you will be able to reach it. But also I think, we shouldn't put our hopes too high. Not everything in life works out perfectly, so if we don't expect too much in all categories, then we can't get disappointed. And basically, it doesn't matter what happens to you in life, ALWAYS try to find something positive about everything - even really bad things! I'm aware of the fact that people won't find tragedies of their lives great and say "Oh yes, there is something really good about this!", but I know that there are certain ways and possibilities to look at situations a bit later on and find something to learn from for your future life at least - and that would be something positive already.\nThere is something else I have realized:\nHuman beings are such idiots ... they always want to have things others have. They are never happy with what they have reached or what they have got. It is good and necessary to have targets in life, but it's really dumb that people don't give themselves the time to reach them. People tend to look at the "neighbour's house" and think, "Their house is much nicer than ours!" So they are just jealous and some even try to do something bad to others who have more, instead of putting their energy into learning more, working more .... so actually DOING something to get that other something they are so jealous about! I think, basically they don't necessarily want to own those things, they are only jealous of others who have had the power and energy to get those things in life. Whatever that might be ... something valuable, a relationship, a family, good friends, a good job ... WHATEVER.\nSo do try to gain more in life, but also be happy with what you've got!

Virtually everything makes me happy, but then I've discovered how to be happy pretty much regardless of circumstances. You should try it sometime. I think you'd like it. :))

be happy with who you are. the rest when you love yourself, will fall into place. \n\npeople think it is material things, or money that make people happy, however, it is the things that cannot be bought that are the most valuable. \n\nlove, health and happiness.  they are not things...they are everything.   you can't hold them, or buy them, they just are.

sit down in a quiet place and think about some things that make you happy, and some things that make you stressed out. pick one (or more) of the happy things, and try to do it/see it/listen to it/feel it more often. when you are experiencing whatever it is, really let yourself enjoy it.\n\nthen, think of one of the things that makes you stressed out. think about the way you like it (perfect) and what will happen if it's not perfect. next time you see it not being perfect, take a minute to relax and see if it's really as bad as you think before you change it. this is something you can teach yourself to do. \n\nwith both, start slow and do one at a time- you're not going to change everything overnight.

It's hard to say.  I'd like to think I'd do anything for someone I love, but if I can't be happy, how could I make them happy?

You´ll always find dissatisfaction in life, one way or another. The key is to learn to be happy at all times no matter what. That should be my answer

Your answer was within your question. "How can *I* become more happy." To be happy with the world around you, you must first be happy with who you are.  If you are not happy with yourself then do what is necessary to become happy with you.  For me that meant not trying to be something or someone I wasn't. Not trying to fit in. I had to be Just Me. Sometimes that is the hardest thing in the world to be. Not everyone will like you, but everyone will respect you because you will always be the same.  Good, Bad, or Indifferent.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. -Hugh Downs \n\nHappiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. -Ralph Waldo Emerson\n\nIf you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.\nIf you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.\nIf you find serenity and happiness, they may be envious. Be happy anyway.\nIf you do good today, people will often forget it tomorrow. Do good anyway.\nGive the world the best you have, and it may not be enough. Give the world the best you have got anyway.\nYou see, in the end it is between you and God, never between you and them anyway. \nMother Theresa   \n\nLove is not the place to find happiness.  Learn to be happy with yourself, and you will find happiness anywhere.  You will even be able to share it with someone you love.  \n\nAnd if you are happy with yourself, you will be better able to receive love and enjoy it more fully.\n\nWe often get caught up in struggles with someone else when what we need most is to make peace with God and within ourselves.  \n\nIf you find that you are unhappy with you, that's actually good news.  You then know where to start turning things around, and it's something you can do.  That's empowering.\n\nForgiveness is usually the place to start.  What haven't you forgiven others for?  What haven't you forgiven yourself for?  Forgiveness is the only thing that will set you free so that you can move forward.\n\nForgiveness is not saying it's okay that someone did something or that something happened.  It's releasing someone from the debt of making it up to you.  In the end, they really can't.  There is no making it up.  What we want is for the deed to be undone - and it can't be.  When you can accept that it can't be undone and you find peace with that, you can move on, unhindered by the grief that unforgiveness brings.\n\nWhatever hurts others have caused you, let it go.  Whatever expectations you had that didn't get met, let them go.  Learn to be happy with who you are and all the other disappointments in life will not be so hard to bear.\n\nWishing you much peace, happiness, and love...
