Are you asking if I can be happy or if you can be happy? Happy is usually a choice. An intelligent person can't be happy in all situations. All you or anyone can do is make the most of any given situation and take the best from it.

Happiness or Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and
sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and
we will experience many disappointments but all of this is transitory; it leaves no permanent
mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.
A magic moment is that instant when a "yes" or a "no" can change one's life forever....
You have to take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Every day, God gives us the sun—and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist—that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane , like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists—a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. You start by eliminating as many negative things & people from your life as you can. But mainly recognize when you ARE happy, and recreate the circumstances as often as you can.
