Yes I do. I think that happiness is purely subjective and relies on the ability of one to be grateful and content.

I've never been able to decide to have a certain emotion. I have noticed sometimes that I seem to be in a better frame of mind than normal and, when I poke around in my brain, realize, "Hey, I'm actually happy!" What I do have to fight is the propensity to focus on the negative which will spiral me into overwhelmed inactivity. I can focus on not verbalizing my negative criticisms, but that doesn't make the "unhappiness" go away -- I just am not inflicting it on others. If you know of a way to decide to be happy please let me know -- it'll save me a lot of struggle the next time I swing towards a full-blown clinical depression.

Yes,most people think happiness comes from other people or getting things.The truth is WE make our selves happy. No one other than our selves is responsible for that.

NO fighting. Just a mindset. I decide how I will look at things, I determine how I feel. It's true that bad things do happen and can make your feel really bad but you still determine yourself how much you will let it affect you. If you have difficulty in doing this, you may have a problem, possibly depression or other mental health issues, but for the most part, we can have a huge impact on how we will feel each day. You can wake up and dread the day and say "What a lousy day I'm going to have" or you can say "It's going to be a toughy but I'll be all right. What a good day to get that job over with." You can tell yourself You will make the best of it and work towards that end instead of wallowing in pity and sadness. I've done that. I don't need it!

No fighting there. Only go in my day with a positive mind. "Don't Worry Be Happy - Bobby Mc Ferrin" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhAjrIAFiJ0

No. You can't "fight" to be happy, that's trying to get a positive emotion out of a negative attitude. You have to be at peace with yourself and love and accept yourself FIRST. Then happiness will natually follow.
