Happiness is within you.
Happiness doesn’t come from experiences, it doesn’t come from people, it doesn’t come from things. Yes, everything can enhance your happiness but it won’t create it. If you can be happy with nothing, you will most definitely be happy when having more. That’s why I’m just as happy sitting on some grass in a park and relaxing, as I am at an expensive dinner or enjoying a skyline view.
Everything around you adds to your happiness but it doesn’t substitute the lack of your happiness. You can always be happier if you’ve found peace but don’t outsource it or look for it outside of yourself.
Think of all the things and experiences that make you happy that don’t cost money or take a lot of effort. Appreciate those things. Have more of those in your life.
I’ve met a lot of people who get bored easily, have fomo, and look forward to the next shiny toy they can get their hands on, but will it ever be enough? There will always be something better, something new, more of something. But happiness is a decision. And I know not everyone agrees with this, but then I’d like to know what it is if it’s not your conscious choice, and what makes you happy that can sustain it if it’s not you, yourself?
They say money doesn’t change people. It just exponentially amplifies who they are. So a wonderful, caring, giving person (as you are) with money would just be more of that. So how you act stripped of comfort and riches will be the same but more when you are comfortable and wealthy. Appreciate what you have now so that you won’t be chasing the mirage of the “more more more” when you do have as much.
Happiness is within you. That is all.
