I seem to find happiness when I'm not concerned with finding it, and just fully involved in the situation/moment.

Perhaps this is because I don't really pay attention to my happiness level when I'm actually happy, and so can "enjoy" the moment by being fully present.

Yet, I feel my happiness isn't tied to how good or bad the particular situation I find myself in is (as I can't really control that), but more about how I deal with it.

It's almost as if my happiness is tied to my ability to step up to the plate and meet any situation head on.
