Happiness is not a constant. It's a process. A system of ups and downs, of balance. There is no light without dark. No happiness without sadness. No joy without regret.

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity." -Carl Jung

"We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person." -W. Somerset Maugham

"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." -Marcus Aurelius
