We all want to be
happy. After all, who wouldn’t want to be healthy and have that sense of
accomplishment at all times? Sadly, most of us are seeking happiness in all the
wrong places.
More often than not, people think that their happiness depends on another person, especially on their partner. In their minds, they create this scenario where If their loved one would leave, their whole world would be shattered. And they won't be able to feel joy ever again.
On the other hand,
many of us believe that our happiness depends on material things. If only we’d
have a fancy home, an expensive car and just enough money in the bank -- we would
be so much happier… Of course, having all of these can’t and won’t make us sad,
but being happy is an inside job. You could have anything you wish for and
still feel some kind of emptiness.
Simply put, long-term
happiness is not about external factors. It’s about inner contentment and being
able to see some good in everything.
