‘Happiness’ is a word or condition that everyone is looking for, no one can determine its true meaning or measure. The measure of happiness for one person is different from another, but it is strange that everyone thinks that the feeling of happiness does not come unless they obtain certain things they want, whether material things, such as obtaining money or owning a house, a car or other property that a person desires to obtain, or morals such as association with specific people, or changing certain circumstances in their lives, which they think is the source of happiness for them.
In fact, the feeling of happiness comes from within, i.e from the person himself. There are many who have a lot of money and wealth, and their lives are unhappy, and others are associated with those who desire and their lives are also unhappy. Happiness, then, comes from an internal source, not an external one. A person can feel happy if he decides to do so. Most likely, happiness comes from a person's feeling of inner peace.
The measures of happiness are different between people, and there is no doubt that material things add to life enjoyment and comfort, and association with specific people brings peace and stability, but a person must admit that his happiness or unhappiness does not come from the outside, from certain circumstances, but rather admits that he is responsible for his life and his happiness. Therefore, he must make the decision, and make the intention to be happy in his life, and this is the first step towards the ladder of happinesss.
It can help a person discover the reasons for his happiness or the things that add joy and pleasure to his life, by asking himself positive questions daily, such as: Where is my joy? What are the things that make me happy? How can I be happier today? What work can make me happy?
In addition, you can devise other questions on your own, to arrive with an answer that will come to you at another time, and you have to receive and exploit it. It may be the practice of a particular hobby that brings you happiness and pleasure, and it may be simple and easy things that make you feel happy.
Happiness in the end is just a feeling that you feel, and you can sometimes fake it to make your life meaningful!
