Also I just wanted to add that we are kind of taught that happiness should just happen.. On it's own. But I think there is an art or science to happiness. It's something we have to "grow" or nourish. Not just those moments of spontaneous happiness, those do happen but don't last. The lasting happiness is a product sort of... Of what we put in. Kind of like cooking, the ingredients will either make a fabulous tasting meal or a few wrong ingredients can ruin the entire outcome. But it's all a practice, we are all just practing and we learn as we go along what works and what doesn't.

If something you are trying isn't working and you still feel unhappy or not content. Time to switch up the ingredients. We cling to things we know wether the work for us or not. It's human nature to stick with what is familiar. It feels scary to let go of old ways even if they are not helping. New territory feels scary yet it can also be exactly what we need.

Sorry. I hope that makes sense. I kind I get rambling. There are some really good books on happiness out there too. http://www.amazon.ca/happiness-Books...ppiness&page=1

I haven't read any of these, but maybe take a look through them and the reviews and see if you think any would be helpful to you. Some look pretty good and have some rave reviews. Happiness is something I think that can mystify us all and we all crave it.
