Happiness

Happiness, Joy, Excitement,
       I have been meaning to write on this topic for a while now, but have struggled to find those three words in my own life and in others.  What does it mean to be happy, how do you become happy.  Most of the time I think money will make me happy and it does.  It allows me to buy things and moments and adventures that make me happy.  However when does happiness make you sad?  I have struggled to find ways to make that million dollars.  I have played the lottery, i have written a blog, I have tried to invite products online.  I have worked 60 - 80 hr work weeks but yet I have not made that giant lump of money and it hurts it makes me sad.
It as if I have lost a lot of my life in the quest to be happy and this is where I struggle, how can I be happy if money is my route to being happy?
Love you say?  That's a great answer but i went down the love road and it only made it worse.  There same ambition for money only made us both depressed as we failed to find that way to make a million dollars and buy all the dirt bikes, and corvettes and big houses.
Perhaps its not happiness we need as human beings, perhaps its something as simple as feeling content, content with your life, content with yourself.  That you know you tried your best to be the best you can and that you are ok with it.  Perhaps this will bring inner bliss to your life and happiness.
Most likely i will write about this again because I have yet to reach that true answer.
