What really brings "HAPPINESS"?

Have you ever asked yourself what  can really make you happy? Have you ever thought if you're really contented in your current life?


I am in doubt. I doubt my own happiness.. I thought for so long that I will become completely happy If I am already beside the person I most loved. But I guess, I am wrong. Just being near to him isn't enough. Having enough income isn't also the one who can make me completely happy. Buying all the things I want isn't too. But now, I still have no idea what really brings happiness.

sad? in doubt? confused?

Is it within yourself? Is it because of others? One author have said:

"It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years -- we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on." - Sharon Salzberg

So maybe it is true. It is just within ourselves. It is on the way we think. Only ourselves and nothing but ourselves can bring us happiness. Not someone. Maybe sometimes, they became the reasons, but to be happy or not? It is our choice I think..
