NO thing can make you happy, happiness comes from the inside out.
Having a healthy positive sense of self-esteem ( worthiness and self-efficacy), having good core values and walking your walk and talking your talk will make you happy.
External things like money, clothes, being pretty or handsome , sex appeal and sex itself , will make you content , but we all know of people who have everything you could possibly want in the world and who are still not happy or content.

When that what goes around comes around and the smile disappears off someones face because of it. Even if it's my own I can still be happy about it since it is over and done with then and life can go on having learned from the experience :-)

Chanting Hare Krishna and knowing my real self. such as -We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with chanting the Maha mantra (The great Mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can return to the eternal Kingdom where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. Thank God I found myself.
For info. Go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita- As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada asitis.com you can read it on line.

Seeing my children happy

Kindness towards one another would be a good place to start. I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to see people being genuinely kind to another, and respecting each other. It's so simple and yet so tasking for people to do.

i've been taught that god will make us happy and that sex, money, an power only fulfill our spirits to an extent (and then we become unhappy again)

God!
Being saved and knowing that I'll be spending eternity in Heaven, and not Hell.
Being with family and friends.
