This is an interesting question, and I have asked it on several occasions. It wasn't till a couple of years ago that I actually figured it out.
You have to make the decision to be happy, no matter the circumstances in life. There was once a time when I was really depressed. I think about that John Cusak quote every time I talk about this -
"How hard is it to just BE happy? Why cant you just make the decision to be happy, and then do it?"
Life is about personal satisfaction, whatever that may be for you. Happiness is in your mind, just like everything else. Its state exists wen we choose, and when we subconsciously choose. Since most of our primal instincts are born of fear, and survival, happiness is not one that we posess.
Make the decision to do the things that you like to do. Try and seek out things that you have not tried, and do them too. There is no limit to ones happiness, but without personal satisfaction you will remain the Neanderthal of your ancestors. Happiness rocks, and you really can decide to do it.

Be happy with what you have, set realistic short term and long term goals, work hard to achieve them and have a positive and grateful attitude, love and FORGIVE and have lots of TRUE friends and family.

spend time strengthening your bond with your family, friends, all those you love will bring you joy. workout go for a run you'll feel the freedom and very empowered. love yourself and know the importance of self worth. Before everything give thanks to the one who made you gave you life and His blood, realize that your life is just for Him because you are a vessel that was meant to only contain Him. Only then will your thirst be satisfied and you will reach true joy.

All that my happiness requires is a full stomach, a warm place to sleep, and the man who loves me and I love more than anything. I will lay there and smell his smell and feel his love and sleep forever because I will be completely happy.
