Happiness is never about things. Happiness is an “inside job.” Real happiness is a contentment with yourself, feeling good about you. People who try to find happiness outside themselves (money, belongings, relationships, etc.) find that any good feelings they have about those are fleeting, because they don’t like themselves. Spend time working on your self-esteem, honey. Get yourself happy with you first. Then you’ll see that other things and events just make things easier or more pleasant. The happiness will already be in place. Best wishes to you.

I once heard something that stuck with me, that life is 10% events and 90% perception. I think the way to be happy is to view things in a positive light and be happy for the good, and not focus on the bad aspects of your life. Obviously, easier sad than done, but as cliche as it is, try to appreciate what you have.
