"Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to be happy." Viktor Emil Frankl, in Mans Search For Meaning, instructs us in wisdom. He says happiness is like laughter. If you want somebody to laugh, you have to provide a reason to laugh. You can't tell someone to laugh and expect it to be real. There must be a reason.
Happiness is the same, it's a result of something else.
To gain real happiness, you must set a higher spiritual objective, dream a dream, have a vision, or set a goal because the closer you get to achieving that goal, the happier you become.
Even the tiny steps you take along the way result in small doses of happiness bursting forth in your brain.
So dare to dream and your joy will download by increments along your path!
"Like everyone else, my pursuit in life was to find happiness. Health and wealth would, of course, be wonderful to have, but I wanted to discover the secret of inner joy and serenity, and to live a fulfilling life... (But) The Great Ones know that in order for us to have abundant lives, we must first learn how to love."  The Celestial Proposal, Chapter 10, The Celestial Standards of Morality, pg.115.
