Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future. In other words, if we're going to be more cheerful in the future, it's because of our aspiration and exertion to be cheerful in the present. What we do accumulates; the future is the result of what we do right now.
I loved the book Eat, Pray, Love so much. Elizabeth Gilbert found a spiritual teacher in Bali and he taught her to imagine her liver smiling. Really. If you are having trouble feeling happy, I promise this technique will work. Pick any internal organ and imagine it with a big smile on its...whatever. It will get you started.
You could also watch the trailer for this new movie "Happy Go Lucky," it's infectious.
(I found out about this movie from my sister, one of the happiest people I know)
Remember not to waste your time expecting happiness to come from other people or circumstances. Happiness is an inside job. Your latte is half empty or it's half full - it's your choice.— Pema Chödrön in When Things Fall Apart
