Happiness is your current situation, minus your expectations.
Most religions teach that desire is the cause of suffering. If I want something to be different, if I pine for change, If I worry about whatever it is. I will naturally see my current situation as not good enough.
But, when I drop my expectations, when I choose to be ok with whatever is currently happening, well then happiness naturally rises to the top.
The only thing that robs me of happiness is my desire for more.
Think of how our lives would change for the better if we looked at what we have and finally agreed that "it is enough." What we have is enough.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
