You're the boss! You decide the state of happiness or unhappiness, no one is going to work as hard as you to ensure your happiness. If you are unhappy about your jobs, marriages or relationships, think a little more deeply now, which types of person you are? First type is those who put obstacles in the way of feeling happiness , the second type are those who are waiting for things outside them to make them happy, while the last type are those who is the boss for their happiness, they have their own rules of happiness and will not response to what is going on around them, they know happiness is first and foremost a choice.
Everyone wanted to feel happiness, but what does happiness feel like? Most of us think that happiness is the feeling from our body, we feel great within. However, happiness can be the feeling of perfect harmony of life, inner satisfaction or having good things in life. Everyone pursuit of happiness is different, it's very hard to have a common answer that represent everyone, if you want to know, how does happiness feel like, you can begin to recall back your experience that bring you the most happiness, and try to identify the feeling now. Doesn't it feel great if you have done so?
There are certain things that is beyond our control, people can make us feel miserable if you allow them, many times we will associate with them - How to become positive dealing with negative people?. Life can sometimes be very unfair, you may come accross loss of family, loved one, being cheated or divorced. Someone did you wrong, you are in the state of unhappiness, you dwell on the sadness and forgotten that you have a choice, why do you want to spend the rest of your life paying for their mistake? The biggest enemy is yourself, and the only one who can ruin your life is you. Happiness is a choice and the life is yours.
People's sometimes are relunctant to feel happy because they plan not to be happy. There always never ending problems and don't become a victim of circumstance. If that's you, it's time to change and avoid the situations that can make you unhappy. It may take time to find your self-awareness, but looking at where your life now, it can place you further in the future. This doesn't mean that you should ignore your responsibilities and commitment. Be a designer of happiness that bring you joy.

To me personally, happiness is a choice. It is not related to how much money I have, my relationship with others and circumstances in life. People are always chasing after happiness but I think they will never get there. Because happiness is already in you. It's not outside of you. It's up to you whether you want to be happy or not.
