Why are most people unhappy in their lives?

Happiness is a balanced state of mind, body and soul, but most people relate it to one's state of material success and accomplishments. 

If happiness ever came from material possessions, we will never see less accomplished people ever being happy. Material things can bring physical comfort and a temporary sense of joy. The happiness that lasts only comes from how you feel from within. To feel accomplished from within we need to appreciate what we have, try to give our best in everything we do, have a strong bond with others and connect with ourselves.

Don't relate your happiness with your material goals in life. Happiness is always there within you, you just have to balance yourself to realise it.
