The question asked in this discourse was how to stay happy all the time?
On the question of staying happy all the time, in reality, this is impossible. A person with a stable mind cannot stay happy all the time. When you are not happy, do not feel bad about it. Tell yourself that it is okay. This is one of those moments where I am not happy, No Problem. This is not the first time I am feeling unhappy, and this shall pass as well.
Happiness is either in the hope or in those thoughts in which we visualize getting the thing that we
want to get and feel happy about that. We basically feel happy only when everything goes according to our wishes. But that happiness is also for a very short time. In fact, the most depressed people I have seen are the ones who are well-off from every aspect of their life. Because they have no reason to have any sorrow. That is why they don't know how to stay happy. if there are no sorrows or
adverse situations in life, if there are no challenges in life then life is not worth living. If there are no problems left to solve then life itself becomes a problem. When there is no burden to carry in life,
then life becomes a burden.

"Somewhere, we all pack our own lunch. It’s entirely in our hands to either be graceful about things we find disagreeable and look at the brighter side (and yet be industrious to bring change) or keep on complaining. Our happiness is in our hands and a lot of it depends on how and where we direct our time and energy." https://os.me/five-principles-happiness/
