Happiness is not something you seek. It's not a location or another person. It's not latent or inactive or waiting for discovery. It's already there, your invisible garment. It's a choice you make daily--a perspective through which you decide to see your life. Thus happiness is perpetually within reach. You could be zoneless, drenched in darkness, hollow-bellied, devoid of material, the traces of your footsteps long-faded, and yet, you could still be radiant.

So they say.
