Basing your happiness on anyone besides yourself is giving people way too much power over your life. Period!
Happiness is subjective, stimulated from within. It won’t be achieved based on acquiring things but the extent to which you’re satisfied with and grateful for what you have and use it to the benefit of others.
This means happiness can be cultivated. What is does not mean is that all is well in your world and the world around you, but it’s how you choose to react.

Yes, one can be messy and still be happy, if the source is within. But the person might become extremely happier if the mess get a bit less messy. For instance, l have being happy though my whatsapp line, in fact my entire phone is being manipulated. But, l became happier when l got to know those behind.

Yeah. I think it was Paul ( in the Bible) who said he’s learned to be content in circumstances, mess and all. If he could be content in his mess there’s hope for us all 😂
