True Happiness

What is one thing that we all desire (apart from more money!)?

It is to be truly happy. No matter what stage of life we are in, all of us want to be happy. 

What is happiness though? Does it mean more money? Does it mean having a good job or good business? Does it mean having children or being happily married? Does it mean success? Does it mean driving a good car and living in a great house? Does it mean good health?

I believe that these are simply 'Happy phases' in our lives. Whenever we are lacking something in life, we tell ourselves that if only we had whatever we are lacking, then we will be happy. Once we get that, we become temporarily happy and then we desire more. We want something else to make us happy again. We again blame the lack of something for our unhappiness. This circle is endless.

To be truly happy you must be happy with yourself . That simply means you start living the life that you want to live. Start being the best that you can be. You are responsible for yourself, no matter where you are in life and its only 'YOU' who is accountable for your happiness. When you reach the stage when you can be truly content and happy with yourself, then and only then will you be truly happy.

People, situations, circumstances, problems etc. will come and go but none of it will be able to rob of your happiness. Instead of looking at outward happiness, look for it within yourself. Thats the path to true happiness.
