Happiness is when someone has a positive feeling of joy and satisfaction in him. Happiness can be gotten either from someone who makes you happy or from a particular goal you achieve. Happiness can also be gotten from activities like watching of movies or playing games.
Most people rely on other people for their happiness, they can only be happy if those people are happy, they see others as joy givers. They may be families or friends or their spouse. When these joy gives are not around they tends to be sad all the time.
But the true happiness comes when you start being happy with yourself.
Relying on someone for happiness can bring disappointment as the person making you happy won't or can't be doing that forever. He will one day stop. It will cause you to always try to please them by not being able to take decisions yourself because all you need is someone to make you happy, and that particular person will influence your life base on what he wants from you.
Happiness starts from loving yourself first, when you start seeing the good things about yourself, how beauty you are and you start see the achievements you have achieved. There's this song we use to sing in church "Count your blessings and name them one by one" applying this song will make you see how far you have gone and why you should always be happy.
Self happiness comes when you spend time alone checking yourself and knowing what makes you happy and trying to do those things.
I will prefer you get a paper and set goals you will love to achieve that will make you happy. When this is done the internal joy will be filled in your heart and will return that smiles on your face again.
Remember love yourself more, because of you don't no one will do that for you.
