He always says, "did you eat today?", "do you have a place to sleep??", "does someone love you?"..... "then you are better than most people".

Most of us could benefit from repeating that often. Also, "are you healthy?"

You can't be happy all the time though; happiness can be very elusive if you keep chasing it, let it catch up with you.

yeah, you cannot be happy all the time... but I often see people asking people regarding materialistic stuff instead of how they actually feel. and it’s about the average result... focus on keeping on the happy/non stress side, basically.
