True happiness is a gift from God. Seek God first and all His righteousness and the rest shall be added unto you. Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Your brain is a very powerful force. If you convince yourself that you should be happy, yes maybe you will be. But a life without God is meaningless. Focusing on yourself and your own happiness leads to destruction. If you chose to be happy without God you are opening a door to become selfish and arrogant.
