Happiness is a skill...

It is true that happiness comes from within.

No other person, place or thing can give us happiness. They may give us cause for happiness, but true joy of living (happiness) is a mental ability, which comes from within.

However...

We will always be influenced, to at least some degree, by the world around us, and that is why we need to discover the relationship of the various elements in our environment that makes us into who we are. We need to pause and reflect on what is our perception of the world around us, because it is our perception that dictates how interpret our past, how we view ourselves, and even what we find beautiful in our daily life.
