Where to find happiness?

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." Can somebody here explains to me the meaning of this statement? This confuses me a lot. Thanks.:)

heheheeheh It simply means that in every situation we have we can see the brightness side. It depends on how a person handle it.

Happiness is inside you; you can't buy it. You have to examine your life and be honest and acknowledge to yourself the things you have done which has pulled such a dark cover over you. Are you an anxious person? Do you panic easily? Are you bipolar? Have you got a medical condition? Have you done something bad that you can't talk about and therefore struggles with it on your own? In short, what causes your unhappiness? It is easy to say get over it, but it is not you suffering. Everyone wants to be happy. If you are looking for happiness all over the show and not within yourself, it is time to start. Get in touch with a yoga class. Take some time to meditate. Read a chapter in the Bible. Get in touch with your inner life.

Truly happiness is inside all of us. We may or may not know it but let's just keep in mind that no matter what path you are walking, what journey you are up to or whatever circumstances your are in just enjoy every bit of it. Than struggling and resisting the flow of life. Just be happy in everything you do.

In the end, you really need to look at the positively in any situation, even if there really needs to be a little extra light to be shined right on the situation right at hand. Really in the end, it is really easy to get caught into the dismal reality of life. If you are surrounded by negativity or darkness, you really need to find a way to cut through the darkness. In a nutshell, that is what that statement makes. In the end, by flickering a switch, you really can find your way right through a lot of rather tough times in life. It really might not be a cure all situation right out there. However, it is something that will just throw your life back right on the right tracks and lead to some point of clarity. The light shall cut right through the darkness, giving you hope, which is really the road to happiness and joy in your time.

Happiness is inside you; you just have to release what is blocking you up. Perhaps you had or have a bad past? Maybe there is something stopping you from being happy? The meaning of the statement from MyLot is basically what I am trying to tell you but in different words. Happiness also means different things for different situations. Some people want material goods to be happy; others want tranquility and peace. There can be a whole range of reasons why you are so unhappy. Speak to someone, even a good friend can help.

This saying is basically saying that happiness is available to you no matter where you are or how bad your situation is. You just have to remember how to appreciate what you have, rather than focus on what you don't. Focus on the good things that you have, rather than the bad. You can be depressed because you lost your job, have no girlfriend or boyfriend, and can't pay your bills. However if you remember to "turn on the light" and focus on what good things you have: a healthy body, shelter, friends, you can see how lucky you actually are and can become happy.
