Many people believe happiness comes from something outside themselves.

That they need money, fame, success, love, friendships, a fit body, a big house, or something else to fill this perceived void that creates the elusive ‘Happiness’.

And, all of them do help for sure, but they are all means to an end.

You will still have to do something with any one of these to be happy, as none of them make you happy on their own.

If they did then anyone possessing even one of these things would be happy.

That being said, cat videos do come quite close, but even they do not grant permanent happiness.

There is no one factor that creates ever-lasting happiness in life.

Nothing, no matter how grand, will make you happy in the end… at least not forever.

While you can never reach ever-lasting happiness, you can reach a stage where so many small things come together throughout the day that you will feel happy and fulfilled for most of it.

This is what we see when we see someone truly happy: Someone that has such a balanced and finely tuned life that it seems like they are never unhappy.

To reach this state you have to balance your life effectively across all areas.
