What is happiness? From the beginning of time, I have always been curious about what makes me, (or one) happy, and have done a lot of research on the topic. Oftentimes, we seek something outside of ourselves, and say things like, “When this happens, then I will be happy”. After years of reflection through my own places of darkness, and then times when I was truly happy, I realized that happiness comes from inside out. Not, outside in. When I focused on being happy on the future, or my happiness depended on people, or situations, happiness was short lived.
