I agree with curiousbear. I measure happiness as success. Success to me is being my own person, having independence, doing what I want to do, and having a balanced, happy life. Am I successful right now? Not by my standard. BUT, I am trying. Sometimes, all you can do is try. This is cheesy but I used to have a favorite childhood cup that said "You can be a winner if you try!" So, in that respect, I am successful just in my efforts. People need goals in life if you want to truly participate in life, and not just be a spectator.
