What is the secret to happiness? Is it an unlimited bank account? Is it a perfect life in which everything goes your way?

The truth is that if you lack this one critical thing, you could have all those advantages plus a herd of puppies in your backyard, and it would not be enough. Even more surprising is that you don't need much at all to feel joyful and fulfilled in life. It is not glamorous or talked about much in our gratification-seeking world, but if you are missing this vital part in your heart, everything else becomes meaningless.
