Come to think of it, have you looked deeply at your family? My family is my source of joy, they are always there in the bad time and in the worst time.
Let me tell you a story, there was a time my parents weren't paid and all my siblings were at home due to the strike. Feeding was a problem, it was so bad that we would hardly eat two times in a day. The unfortunate situation was that my parents worked at the same place and at the same time they weren't paid. No other source of income. Most times I watch my mum cry because she couldn't provide money for feeding her children.
We turned into beggars, every family member wasn't left out as my mother continues to beg them for little every day. This situation lasted for 6 months, it was so bad. Extremely bad, but my mother had this zeal, I don't know where she got the money from but she single handedly started a business which she still managed till now.
The debt my father was owing was way too much, he borrowed from anyone he could just to make sure we had food on the table. That was when I learnt how to manage food stuff. Approximately we were 9 in the family. But one thing about this funny situation is that my father never ceased to crack jokes late in the evening. You can just laugh and be happy notwithstanding that you are hungry, that was the kind of family I had. We were happy with the little we got and still cracked jokes and had happy moments.
Happiness is key and shouldn't be attached to something because if it isn't there, you just feel sad. That is the case with me but mine isn't attached to money but attached to my to do list.
Most times I set a target for myself and whenever I don't meet that target or achieve my to-do list, I feel restless and uneasy. I literally don't have a good night's rest as most times my dreams are centered on it. Till I do that is when I get myself, I feel so empty and most times I'm always thinking of ways to solve my problems which gives me migraines.
For me not to feel so terrible, I must write my to-do list on a piece of paper and paste them on the wall as a constant reminder. Whenever I wake up from sleep, it's always there looking at me,so instead of wasting time, I jump in it so fast.
Another thing that is attached to my happiness is whenever I manage my time so effectively, I feel so happy and fulfilled and most times I dance so happily for managing my time effectively.
