No One Can Make You Happy: Discovering Inner Peace and True Happiness From Within

This was so evident when I was driving in a town that was inhabited by poor people. As I drove by, I looked for evidence of happiness and I notice children playing laughing and having fun. They did not have the things that I expected them to have, but they showed me that they hold the key to their happiness. I cannot judge them by my definition of happiness. They are happy within their environment. I love traveling and I have visited more than 50 different cities and countries and I have seen the happiness that exists with very little material things. My greatest joy is to see how creative people can be and how happy they are with limited resources. I feel joyful to see how humans adapt to their environment. We are very creative in what we can do to survive. Happiness can also be a choice we make and an attitude we have towards ourselves and our community.

We can choose to be happy and change your situation. We should not spend your precious time searching for someone or something to make us happy. He or she will never come and the things that we are searching for will never arrive. Spend time knowing and loving yourself and you will be able to connect to the happiness that resides within your soul. Human beings add values to each other in many ways. For example, a happy person can bring out the best in you and a grateful person can make you think of the good things in your life. Choose to surround yourself with people that will allow your happiness to blossom. If you meet others who are negative or unhappy, do not judge them because you do not know their stories. You must love them, learn from them, but do not become like them. Remember that everyone is on a different path to happiness. Everyone wants to be happy and will be happy if they can be connected to their inner happiness self.
