We could all use a little more happiness in our lives, right? That's why I loved that our columnist Sara Kuburic, the Millennial Therapist, wrote about how to find it this week.

Here's a sampling of what she suggests for understanding the keys to happiness:
Responsibility. Many of us try to find people or things that will make us happy – we try to outsource the task. As a result, we often feel disappointed or upset when a relationship or that new job doesn't move the needle from dissatisfied to satisfied with our overall existence. But no "thing" or person can make us happy. Happiness is an inside job.
Decisions. We can't decide to feel happy, but we can make decisions that make us happy. Happiness is a reflection of how we choose to live our life. It is not a single event but rather an outcome of all our decisions – big or small.

Doing something meaningful every day can often lead to a sense of happiness. However, it's important not to confuse meaning and productivity. It's not about being productive every day – it's about doing something that holds value for you. This can be as simple as having a cup of tea or a conversation, resting, helping someone or learning something new – the list is endless.
