Everyone wants to be happy but where you live can affect your mood greatly. If you love bright sunny days but live in a state that is cold and gloomy, that can be quite problematic.

Texas is bright and sunny but if you don't like the heat, you might be miserable. If you're looking for happiness, then you might want to analyze where you live.
