True and lasting happiness is not found in actions and things that you like doing. It begins with acceptance of the here and now and where you can joy and enthusiasm in the place of acceptance.

Do not aim to be happy in the future, but just be happy now. It isn't a point you reach after x, y, or z. You find the happiness now. You bring joy and enthusiasm into your life through what you do.

Start with acceptance of what is. Then move on to situations that will bring you joy.

A big subject... read the Eckhart Tolle books
