Now it's your turn!
Rant and exaggerate why you can't be happy.  Start listing all of the things of why you can't be happy now.  At some point, you come to realize the insanity. This is your mind thinking constantly about all the reasons why you can't be happy now. This is what's called the ego. It will continue to find things to not be happy now. It is an endless list. It takes being conscious to recognize this software program in the mind and realize, "I can think something different, This is just the ego at work keeping me from my power, my peace, my joy, my passion, my NOW."
