Shit that's where I've been going wrong... I was waiting for happiness to choose me.
Then I realised it had been hanging around in the background a while waiting for me to be ready.

Perhaps this is a bit over simplified, but it's meant to be that way. Mantras that are concise and personally meaningful are the ones that I find work the best.
However I do find some absolute truth in those simple words. We may not control our feelings, but we can choose how we react to those feelings. In that manner, happiness does comes from within.
Looking for happiness in the things and people around is unfair to others and how unhealthy realtionahips are built.
Only once we make peace with who we are and who we want to become can we freely give ourselves over to happiness.
These are only my opinions and how I approach life. This is what works for me. I'm sure others have found something that works better or just as well in their lives.

oh that's a long response I think I must have expressed myself badly.
I was agreeing with you kind of.
Except that we change our thought patterns not our feelings... it's thoughts that change feelings.
It's called cbt I believe
