If we're unhappy, it's because life is not as we want it. Life is not matching our expectations of how it " ought" to be & so we're unhappy. ( just like Hao of shaman king! Omg i miss that anime ): )
So we say, " I'll be happy when..." Well, life is NOT perfect. Life is about being exhilarated, frustrated, sometimes achieving & sometimes missing out. So long as we say " I'll be happy when..." we're deluding ourselves.
Happiness is a decision. Many people live life as if someday they'll arrive at " happiness" like one arrives at a bus stop. They figure that someday everything will fall into place, they will take a deep breath & say, " Here i am at last... happy!" Hence their life story is one of " I'll be happy when..."
Each one of us has a decision to make. Are we prepared to daily remind ourselves that we have only limited time to make the most of what we've got, or will we while away the present, hoping for a better future?

We are necessarily in control of our own happiness as we decide what thoughts we think. No one else puts thoughts in our mind. To be happy, we need to concentrate on happy thoughts. How often, though, do we do the opposite? How often do we ignore the compliments that are paid to us yet dwell on unkind words for weeks afterwards? If you allow a bad experience or nasty remark to occupy your mind, you will suffer the consequences.
Remember, we are in control of your own mind.
I remember waking up one day & deciding that i had had enough of being miserable & sad. I thought to myself, " If you're going to be a really happy person someday, why don't you start now? " That day i decided to be a while lot happier than i had ever been before. I was shocked, it worked! :D
I asked some happy people whom i know, how they became so happy-go-lucky, their answer reflected my experience haha. He said, " I said enough misery, heartaches, loneliness & i decided to change things. "
Being happy can be hard work sometimes. Its like maintaining a nice home. You've got to hang on to your treasures & throw out the garbage. Being happy requires looking for good things. One person sees the beautiful view & the other sees the dirty window. You choose what you see & you choose what you think.
You have your brush & colors. You paint paradise, then in you go.
