Happiness is a state of mind. You cannot be made unhappy without your consent.

I'm truly sorry to hear that you're feeling down lately.
Here is my own answer:
The secret to divine happiness and fulfillment in life is inside you.
Its seed already rests within you - that is why you ask the question.
The fastest way to experience happiness and fulfillment, is to help another experience happiness and fulfillment. When you help cause that to happen, you will realize that the power and source of happiness is within you. What you do and give to another, you also do and give to yourself. We are all connected. (That is why as one previous poster said, practice small random acts of kindness.)
If you are not feeling happy and fulfilled, I can guarantee you that most people around you in your life also do not happen to be happy or fulfilled. That is not a coincidence.
You have a voice. You have a heart. You have a mind. You have a soul. You have a life. These are your greatest gifts, and they are also the greatest gifts you can give to the world and to others - as well as the greatest gifts that life has given to you.
For myself, I was in a kind of hell once, for many years. But now when I look back, I realize that those who are in hell are also blessed, for they have been given the opportunity to learn how to transform hell into heaven, and darkness into light... not only within their hearts, but also around them in their life.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you learn that suffering is part of life, and doesn't necessarily mean that there's anything "wrong" or "unjust" going on, then you'll avoid some of the secondary suffering that stems from jumping to such "nasty world" conclusions. Sometimes there IS something wrong or unjust going on. But not always. And there's not always something wrong with you when you're feeling down. It's not necessarliy a sign of pathology, of untrue belief, or anything else profoundly bad. It's just a feeling.
___It's just a feeling.

A most heart-born blessing of goodness is being visualized for you.
Sometimes it's so very easy to get caught up in the "seeming" discord and emotional negativity we percieve. Notice the word seeming is in quotes. This is because I have discovered that my perception is not always true, thus, it "seems" ( appears ) to be true.
This perception can allow me to choose to focus on the discord and disallow the truth of my being to be foremost in my mind. Sometimes when I realize, through an inventory of my actions up to this point in time, I can see when I made the choice to enter into the pain, so to speak.Upon the discovery of my choice I can choose other wise. I can choose to remember I am a child of The Almighty God that created me and that God wants for me to be happy, joyous and free. It also reminds me of the stewardship I have been given in reference to the Power of God granted me that I am free to apply in human affairs, provided that I apply it as it is meant to be applied, which is for the benefit of others.
When I apply it in this context of focusing it to those in distress it becomes even stronger in me and I am given that feeling that i am a positive being of light in a negative field and there is nothing in this material plane of existence that can touch me or remove me from that center.
I hope this helps you. Otherwise all I can do is continue to send you positive energy so that you also can be free. But please know that this freedom isn't eternal and that we are dealing with the human ( and material ) phase of our spiritual evolution.

you'll be happy as long as you are happy
you'll be sad as long as you'll be
becuase we fail a thousand times, so we succeed
you control your destiny
and because you control, you have the option to choose
how you want to view problems. Whether positively or negatively.
life is meaningless if theres no problems/chanllenges.
To chanllenge and overcome life's problems + to help people to share this view is the divine fulfilment in life.

Coming to the realization and acceptance that it does not exist.
Even the most devout Guru has constipated days when **** doesn't happen.
Get out in the sun and be thankfull for this little snapshot of existence in the greatness of eternity.
Do some random acts of kindness.

Faith and patience. Faith in your higher Self which you may call as God, Guru or anything else that you prefer. And patience in the plan as it unfolds. There is no wrong path since all paths are right for the people concerned. Once we realise this, we will be always happy in whatever situation we find ourseves. Sai Ram.

Anything that you want to be, have, get, feel - Do it to others first.
Example: If you want happiness, make other people happy. If you want success, help others to be successful... Whatever you want for yourself, you do it to others first, then God or the Universe will reward you.
Everything depends on your state of conciousness/mind. Choose to be happy and positive everyday. Acknowledge the God in you.

captain crunch cereal ( there's not just one correct answer, everybody's differant- might as well be captain crunch). it might be "it's a wonderful life" but not for me, hate that movie, maybe it's a cool breeze on a summer day. if you want your spirits to be lifted, go to the zoo, couldn't hurt, or buy a snow cone
