The Source of Happiness
Happiness is not found in a paycheck, your income statement, balance sheet, growth rate, or anything else involving money.
Happiness isn’t in your title, position, associations or affiliations. It’s not in your car, your house, your electronics or your gadgets. Happiness is not even found in your relationships.
If you’re not happy right now, no material success will bring you happiness. If you don’t believe this, you may have to accumulate a fortune to find out for yourself.
Happiness is found in only one place: Within yourself.
Certain external events may trigger the experience of happiness, but the source of your joy and happiness is always within you. Knowing this fact can lead to freedom.
You don’t have to be at the effect of the world around you. Connect with a sense of joy within yourself and know it is accessible at all times and under all conditions.
Locating happiness within generally takes practice. Instead of practicing to be happy, practice letting go of the negative emotions that prohibit your experience of happiness. As psychiatrist David R. Hawkins says, “The sun is always shining. You need only remove the clouds.”
Happiness is your natural condition. When you transcend negative emotions, happiness presents itself.
