Honestly, I have to say no. But at least I think I'm starting to get an idea why. I feel like my life lacks momentum - I see some people around me moving in a forward direction, trying new things and see how this makes them "happy". I think about all the things that I could do to achieve momentum towards happiness and try to do them; from little things like lifting weights and gardening to big things like wonderful sex or learning a new language or musical instrument. There is no way you can click your finger and "be happy" in an instant but the littlest things can get you moving from a standing start to a state of greater happiness.
So I guess you could say I'm in the contradictory position of being fairly unhappy but nonetheless optimistic about my prospects for happiness.
