Will we ever really be happy?

The grass is always greener on the other side. How much of a harsh truth that statement is. It seems that we are always looking for the "thing" that will make us happy. That extra 5kg loss, the new hair, the new job. Whatever it is we always want MORE. But what if you already have it? What if you already HAD it well before now and only realise now,looking back that you were beating yourself up for no good reason! You could have been enjoying all your hard work and efforts, appreciating yourself. So how do we break the cycle? It all is in the mind.
