Happiness is a word that we all are aware of; it is also something that we all seek to have in our lives. It’s a sense of joy, contentment, and well-being. Different people feel a sense of happiness for different reasons [places, people, or things]. Happiness is just one of those things we’ll never complain about feeling. We’ve all had thoughts that if you gain certain things it will fulfill you and make you happy, but once you get those things 9/10 the happiness won’t last long. It’s just the ideal of having certain things.
When it comes to happiness it’s important we seek it for ourselves and not leave the source of happiness in another individual or thing. When someone/thing holds your happiness it can become very dangerous. If it’s a person or thing that keeps you happy if you were to ever lose them then your happiness would be stripped away from you.
Depending on how close the bond was this could lead to you slipping into some sort of depression and no longer being able to stay focused on the things that’s needed. It would also lead to you having to “re-find” yourself because at some point you lose yourself within someone/something else. Here’s a few tips on your road to seeking happiness.
How to Find Happiness Within:
-Shift your mindset: decide and choose happiness
-Forgive and forget: forgive yourself and even others who may have hurt you without apologizing
-Hold on to your values: as long as you stay true to them you’ll feel better within
-Do things you love: it’ll produce greater happiness
-Find purpose: one who feels they’re contributing to humanity tend to feel better about life
-Accept the good: acknowledge the good, no matter how small it may be; a win is a win
-Imagine the best: invision what is it you want and work towards it
-Listen to your heart: you’re the only one that knows what truly gives you fulfillment
Become comfortable with being alone; spending “me time” with yourself; and pour positively into yourself. Understanding what’s best for you is the first step in seeking happiness. The reality of the matter is sometimes people and things come and go; this sometimes is out of your control. No matter who or what comes your way focus on being happy/whole within yourself FIRST!
