PsiKnight has got it part right. I'd definately agree with going out of your way to help someone at least once a week, but I find the most important thing for personal happiness is confidence in yourself!
I don't wear designer clothes, infact I don't wear any special clothes at all. Apart from my underwear, just about everything else I buy is from charity shops. I can get away with this because I dont aspire to the 'label' culture, because I'm confident enough in myself to live my life without the little tick on the side of my trainers or the little aligator on my fred perry style tee shirt!
My favourite group is Status Quo. One of the biggest attractions of the band for me is that so many people dislike them and slag them off for playing the same three chords. The fact that they still fill places like wembley arena every year full of their fans is neither here nor there. The more people slate the band, the more attractive to me they become.
If you like something, especially if its something unusual or out of the ordinary - go with it and sod everyone else, just be yourself and go with what your heart as well as your head says and definately don't be swayed by public opinion or fashion, because you don't have the confidence to deal with criticism. So I guess the ability to be yourself is a key to happiness.
Are you partnerless at the moment? Don't go for looks alone. Personality and sense of humour and an education will go a lot further than a 'trophy guy'. Be receptive to other peoples emotional needs, but make sure you're around others who are receptive to yours. Do you hang around with bitches. Do your friends find fault in everyone they meet? Change your friends! And try to be a leader in social circles rather than a follower or a hanger on. Once again, confidence in yourself is the key. Once you are sure about yourself, I think you'll find a lot of other stuff will fall into place?
How do you achieve confidence? Start with your current social circle and anyone you can think of that you feel is a drain on your emotions or resources - get rid of and start from there!
Regards, Peter

My Recipe for Happiness aspects: - effective thinking - Being content fabric OR working in direction of a place the place you would be content fabric with who you're - life like objectives (short term and long term. ask your self what could actually make your self happy. a stable activity? training? shifting out?) - Surrounding your self with effective people and conserving damaging people away - a stable weight loss plan and exercising (healthful physique, healthful thoughts) - attempting to your self on your individual happiness and not seem to somebody else. - endurance (not giving up in case you notice something as too not ordinary. very just about something is conceivable in case you artwork for it. And when you have carried out something it may provide a splash self belief.) instructions: mixture all aspects and luxuriate in!

Yes. It's simple. Stop thinking about yourself and whether you are happy. See what you can do to make other people happy, or at least content. Look on the bright side. Half full, not half empty. Doughnut, not hole.
Or i'll give you something to cry for!

Smile as it is habit forming!! Happiness lies within, find peace within yourself as there are no external entities/forces/etc. that can provide that for you for to you; happiness is a frame of mind..begin with surrounding yourself with all elements in your life that are positive and eliminate all others, incorporate spirituality if you haven't already...remember, Jesus loves you! Keep your mind and thoughts focused (take a class or attend school or read) in positive ways/manner. And besides, it takes less muscles to smile than to frown...meaning, less wrinkles perhaps!

Respect yourself and others.
Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Be kind to yourself and others.
Help those who are in need.
These four things bring an amazing amount of happiness into ones life. One can't be happy all the time, one needs unhappy times otherwise there would be nothing to meassure the truly happy times against.

True happiness in its deepest meaning doesn't exists, I think the best way to feel the joy of life is to be in peace with oneself, and that is a lot, surrend cult to virtues and surely you will feel better with yourself, your friends and relatives, always fight to be the best spiritually and may be you can find the right answer to your question.

The answer everyone gives me is look out for yourself. Do what what makes you happy, and find somebody that is okay with that, and that wants to make you happy. That's what i'm told anyway.

Yep - mine works for me! Count your assets, wake up in the morning with a smile and go to bed with a smile, face up to difficulties and sort them out or forget them, look on the bright side and remember 'the man who thinks he can't is right!'
