Whenever you're obsessed with earning more and more money, or owning better car then anyone you know, or moving to a bigger, comfier house, or run after a pretty girl after another pretty girl, remember that what you, or its actually what everyone of us really want is being "happy".
The problem is that we trick ourselves to believe that happiness has anything to do with wealth, power or popularity, while in fact it does not.
We envy someone who has more wealth and think that we would be happy if have just as much, or we jealous to someone who married the prettiest girl and convinced ourselves that we would be happier of we can get a prettier girl. But it will not make us any happier for a long term.
Happiness is a state of mind, its merely a concept of how well we think we are. There are only two ingredients for happiness, and I would share them with you, its patient and gratitude.
Be patient with what you are lacking and be grateful with what you have. When you finally make peace with yourself, accepting yourself completely and stop comparing yourself with others, at that moment you will found Happiness.
Very true, it is important to be contented and know that what we have is enough and whatever more that is added is great, but not worth killing ourselves over. Great post!
Yes to this!!! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
An internally-generated state, rather than a reaction to external circumstances or ‘things’.
Health & wealth comes from the gratitude we hold within ourselves.
Great post!!!

Loved your text, my friend. Happiness is truly a state of mind and matter of CHOICE. Some people are happy with little they have in life while some no matter how much material wealth they had will never be happy. If you are not happy right NOW, with what you have, there is a chance you will not find happiness even when you get all the material things you ever wanted in life.
Choose to be HAPPY now, with what you have, because there are so many things around you which can make you happy.But, in order to notice them you have to stop focusing on what you don't have in your life. :)
Great post my friend. :)
