I think one of the causes is they simply choose to be happy.

Every person has a different veiw of what makes them happy, so it is kinda a hard question to answer but I would say for me a perso becomes happy when you get married and have children and you start your own family and your own life and with some people it will take much longer then others of couse it depends on the person on when they will find happiness.
Good Luck!

When they learn to value what they have, accept what they can't have, and plan steps to get where they want to be in life.
Gratitude for all the many gifts you have in your life is the #1 cause of a happy attitude.
Acceptance of what your limits are (I will never be 5' 7" tall, a dead friend won't come back),
and a sense of control over where you can take your life (I can become a nurse, one step at a time) are the other keys.

When you make the decision to be happy. You control your own emotions so it's up to no one but you to be happy all the time, even in the face of adversity.
Just because something doesn't go 'right' doesn't mean you have to be upset in general, you can chose to be happy even if things are difficult.
I'd suggest reading some things on Buddhism, you can find true peace anywhere because it's always within you.

I became happy when I learned to live without the hype the media tells you.
While I don't look like a male model I am happy.
My car is not the hip model and 40 years old but I am happy.
But more importantly be happy for you and not angry at what other people have. Otherwise you'll never move on to true happiness.

HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND!!
Trust me. I know its easier said than done. But experience speaks. Lets take an example. If yr having a really bad day and then yr mood worsens with the situations. Dont you then see things go worse? I have never heard anyone say that their situation gets better if they lose their mind, or cool...it juss gets worse!
So trust me happiness in life is up to you! If you choose to continuous whine and look at situations negatively...that is all you will get. NEGATIVE SITTUATIONS! So better try and be happy wit wat you have...no matter how bad the situation gets. Remember , it cld always get WORSE! lol...
Dont mean to scare you...but im kinda experience the situation right now..it feels nothing is giong right and its very normal and human to see this situation but the main point is...are you gonna let it take control of yr life and destroy watever chance of happiness that comes your way.
Im not suggesting keep smiling, but then i do suggest that if things get really tough juss LAY LOw...or try and get neutral to the situation....once the storms clear you can be happy and gay again. !!!!
BOTTOM LINE: U cld have all the happiness in teh world and cld be successfull wit 100 cars or diamonds or all the boyfriends and success.....but i have seen ppl with all this also very unhappy!
So live for the moment! Try and be happy in anythin u do!!
Best regards
Sparkle!

I think a positive attitude helps live a happy life. Positive thinking and trying not worry too much. Appreciating the things you have in life. Being proud of your own accomplishments.

you become happy at different stages of your life for different reasons....also because your life gets better and what you thought made you happy no longer does...being happy is a state of mind, just make up your mind to be happy and look for ways to make yourself a better person..ya can't go wrong!
