I am uncertain whether I have found the answers, but I do know how to be happy, and know that a great deal of my happiness comes from a sense of purpose or meaning in my life. Two things that are constant in life are change and tribulation. We all go through change and hard times throughout our lives.

I learned that they came up with their own happiness regardless of the impact of other people. It is through your own efforts you are able to create your own heaven, your own peace, and your own joy in life. Joy can be created by us.
