You'll NEVER truly be happy. Those things may never come! So, are you gonna be unhappy for the rest of ur life? True happiness comes from within, and all the external aspects (wealth/possessions) are an extension of that internally joy.

It is absolutely a choice. You can CHOOSE to be happy, despite what goes on around you, despite your circumstances. If you view situations as negative rather than opportunities, you block off the chance to use them to better yourself or bless others.
