Well this morning I saw someone I hadn't seen for a long time and in that year she made some massive changes in her life. One of them was leaving an unhappy/unsatisfying relationship and I have to say the happiness was radiating out of her!

So conversely, much as a relationship with good connection and love can make us happier it's just as true when a relationship is not right for us it can make us unhappy - she was soldiering on but thought 'Life is too short', and is now very happily single for the time being.

External factors like relationships can make a massive difference to our happiness.
