Happiness isn't dependent on circumstances

We think that if we lived in a different house or different city, or had a different job or partner that we'd be happy.

We think about times in the past when we were happy and believe that our happiness was caused by our circumstances at that time.

If we're not happy within ourselves today, the chances are we wouldn't be happy anywhere.

Changing our circumstances will only create a short term diversion before the real issues present themselves again.

Focus on the happiness not the circumstances.
