Finding Happiness

A lot of research has been done on happiness and how good people are at predicting it. People think that once they have more money, a better job, get married, get divorced, have kids, have kids out of the house, lose weight, etc., then they'll be happy. But the truth is that those things don't actually correlate with happiness. Once your basic needs are met money will not increase your happiness. It's the same with all these things. Happiness is a choice and getting to your destination is not likely to truly increase your happiness. As Abraham Lincoln said, People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
