What is the source of happiness?

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

THE source of happiness is within. There is no doubt about this statement.
What makes one individual happy may not for another. Then again, the same thing may not bring on happiness at one time as it used to at another time. Blame it all on the mind.
So is there a link between income and happiness? Yes and no.
But that link weakens if people realise that we all came into this world with nothing and will leave it in the same way.
Too philosophical? I guess the truth is bare but nothing comes close to that.
I have been married for the past 18 years and like most career mothers, have handled both family and career with equal importance.
Relationships are the hardest to maintain, not jobs or lifestyles. Money is just the means for some to attain happiness.
However, I feel there is no match for happiness - not career, not marriage, not children and least of all, money.
Happiness is transcendental, I believe, although I am sure I am yet to experience it.
What light moments I have with my spouse, children, family and friends are definitely cherished and happy.
To me, the dictionary definition of happiness extends further than this: 'Live well, love much, laugh often.'
