What causes happiness?

• Do you need to go somewhere to find it?

• Is it a dollar amount at the end of a bank statement?

• Is happiness an achievement?  

• Is it found in a new (or restored) relationship?

• Is happiness found in time away, time alone, or time with a loved one? 

Any of these experiences or places can lead to a happy feeling – which we often crave. But happiness isn't any of those things – but rather a response to what is happening in your biologically when you experience examples like the ones above.
