It took me a lot of years to get to a place where I realized happiness is more about a thought process than materialistic items or what you have in life. Happiness is an emotion derived from what you have going on inside of your body, mind and soul. Happiness is something that only you can bring to your life, no one else can control your happiness.

I Choose To Focus on Positive Not be Blind of Negative
Living a positive lifestyle does not necessarily mean that you are oblivious or blinded of the bad in this world.
