Ultimately being happy is a way of life that we must choose to live. We must choose whether or not we will follow our hearts through life, or whether we will follow the opinions and judgments of those in our society. We must make the choice of doing what we are passionate about, and not let what is going in our life dictate the direction in which we want to take our lives.
Many people get stuck working meaningless jobs and wasting years of their lives before realizing that they are not at all happy with what they are doing. While others stay in relationships in which they know deep down aren't the relationships that will make them the happiest. Do not settle. Sure being stable and secure is nice, but won't necessarily leave one happy. We must take risks, we must make mistakes, and we must choose to listen to our hearts in order to be happy.
