I'm also in the "happiness comes from within camp". I had a horrible childhood. Since then, I've been able to make my own choices and have come to the realization that I am responsible for my own happiness. When you're a kid you don't really have any choices. I've also come to the realization that things and people don't necessarily make you happy either. For me, the answer comes down to gratitude. For being healthy, for being in a relationship that I currently find fulfilling, for being in a job that I also am respected at, etc. I find that having gratitude for these small things is what makes my life worth living.
