Happiness a skill

Happiness a skill you develop. Just like driving a car. At first it's strange and you are very careful and methodical about doing. After a while it's a breeze and you're drinking coffee and driving, you're relaxing with one hand on the steering wheel, basically you're cruising. Or it's like riding a bit. At first it's hard and perhaps frustrating, but once you learn how to do it you never forget it.

Same with happiness. You can develop the skill of being happy even in hard situations that are difficult and uncomfortable. If you can hone that talent, then you at some point, through practice, generate happiness whenever you want and do it effortlessly.
