Spending quality time with yourself ALONE... learning who you are, and what you love about yourself and what you want to change about yourself. When you're with someone else, you change yourself to fit who they want you to be... this happens with friends, family, and lovers....
The only way you'll truly know who you are as a person is to spend time alone doing things. Once you truly know who you are as a person, it's easier to be yourself around other people too.

Happiness is only temporary. A good goal to be sure, but fleeting. If happiness is your only goal, you will spend your life chasing the next new thing, be it relationships, material objects, food, mind altering substances, Oprah, etc.
I think the real goal is to find contentedness. Contentedness with who you are at any given time and in any given circumstance. It's a tall order, but attainable. Don't compare yourself to others and accept your faults and work to strengthen your good characteristics. Don't necessarily worry about being the best. Work on being the best YOU.
To do this, turn of the TV, iPod, radio, computer every once in awhile and spend time alone figuring out who you are and what makes you tick. Read, write, take walks, paint, volunteer, pray, visit an old relative or friend. Take your interests to new heights and really get into them. Better yet, explore new interests and learn about them. In the end, you'll find a new fullness and depth to life.

Actually having a boyfriend can make you happy but it's not becuase you have a boyfriend it's cuz he makes you happy. do things that make you happy. that's what makes you happy. some people find happiness in thier friends, in drugs, in a boyfriend/girlfriend, in school, in work. there are infinate possibibilities, it's all about doing what you love to do. it's about doing what makes you happy. thats what makes you happy.

Just make the decision. You control what you think, no one else does. You don't need outside validation to be happy.
