There are many causes of happyieness including sucess, friends and family, and yourself. We're not talking finantial sucess, although that is nice too. We are talking about the sucess of being able to set goals and acheive them. It is this journy that keeps us content. For example, studying for a test and then receiving a grade better than you normally get. This would make one feel acomplished and good about themselves.
Another thing that makes people happy are having loved ones around and there to suppport you. Being with the people you love, and that care about you is what makes us feel good and that your not alone. Even just a warm conversation at the dinner table, or playing a fun board game. Be around people that will bring you up rather than make you feel bad about yourself. People are the ones to make us smile and cheerful which is what makes our heart happy. That is why we strive to throw birthday parties for our friends, and do thing to make our parents proud.
Lastly, and the most important thing to make us happy is yourself. Afterall, happiness comes from within and you are the one and only one who can choose how to feel. You have to accept and love yourself unconditionaly and realize no one's perfect. You just want to be the best person you can be and not always try to please others. Thinking of all the things you have to be grateful for and viewing your life as a glass half full, and not half empty. Do things that will make you happy. Clearly, there are so many things that make us happy from sucess to loving yourself.
