Happiness is a way of life, and for those who so choose, it is found here, in this very place and at this very moment; and if we know how to do it, it will be permanent and independent of the ups and downs of life. Unlike what many think, it is not a goal or a prize that we seek to deserve. The key, complex in its simplicity, is not so much in the events that happen to you, but in what you do with what happens to you. That is why learning to maintain a trained mind and cultivate positive emotions and feelings will invariably result in a fuller and happier existence.
