There are a lot of unhappy people in the world, aren’t there.
What happens in your head when you’re unhappy? You think something isn’t right, or someone else should do something for you but didn’t – you basically think of things that are not going your way.
You may then make a conclusion that you’re not happy.
Well, actually, happiness is not what happens to you. Happiness is an emotional state derived from neuro-chemical changes in your brain. It’s based on the mental representations you build (see ‘submodalities). The level of happiness is not created as a result of having something, well, at least not necessarily anything tangible.
