"Happiness is a mood not a destination".. yes I stole this quote and from One Tree Hill of all TV shows :-) but think about it, it really makes sense and hits home. We all want happiness and strive to be happy. We look to other people, places, and things, but happiness comes from within. It can come just as quickly as it can go and sometimes the goal in life seems to be to get it back, which isn't such a bad goal. But are you able to get it back if your not truly happy with yourself first, once you find the person, place or things that you feel make you happy, will you stay happy if your not happy with yourself?
Our moods change every day and sometimes even minute to minute, but looking at the over all picture should be how you define if you really are happy or not. Put side the little things that change the day to day mood and look over your life and see how it's gone, weigh the pros and cons and that's how happiness should be defined, at least in my book. When you have a positive outlook you have a positive mood and there you've got it, happiness.
People, places, and things can have an effect on overall happiness, but you and your mood define it.
