Only you can give yourself inner happiness...
People often confuse external happiness with internal happiness or do not know what happiness is for them. In many cases, people have to start by allowing themselves to be happy and only then work on how to be happy. Neither parents, school, nor the community around us teach us - how to be internally happy.
Of course, from childhood, we are taught what happiness is according to society. That is, a new car, owning an apartment, and having a career. So, items we have or professional career achievements - all this is to increase our value in the eyes of the communities around us.
When our worth is measured by others' approval, we fall into the trap of seeking happiness through external validation. This often leads us to jobs we dislike just to afford things that impress others. It's a cycle that serves the economy more than it does to our individual happiness.
True happiness cannot be outsourced. It's a journey we must embark on ourselves, discovering what truly brings us joy and then nurturing it. Inner happiness is not a commodity to be bought, inherited, or gifted - it's a personal project that requires our attention and effort.
Why did I say that you have to work on your happiness? Because we have lost our inner happiness in today's world and are focused on the external happiness imposed on us by the outside world, we have lost the way to our inner happiness. This is why we must work on ourselves a little bit to find the path to our inner happiness.
That's why so many people don't know what really makes them happy internally. The first step is to let go of happiness conditioned by the satisfaction of others and focus on what really means happiness for a given person. Therefore, for many people, working on their feelings and understanding what happiness is for them is challenging.
Dear readers, building inner happiness is a process - that must be started today. Our time on this earth is limited, and it would be good to spend it truly happy inside.
