How can I find happiness? Sometimes I ask question with myself why is it hard to find happiness?

When I got the answer, I knew that happiness was no longer impossible because it was within us.

When you have a perfect life, family, friends, and job. But you are not happy inside, constantly think about being happy and enjoying.

I think it happens to all of us. Everyone in this world running to find happiness.

The problem is that we look for happiness in others. We depend on others to make us happy. But we know that no one can make us happy. The solution is that our happiness depends on us.

If you get happiness from your heart then no one can make you sad. You don’t even have to depend on it to find happiness.

The first thing you need to do to find happiness is to stop depending on others.

Stop Looking for Happiness in Others

When we set expectations with others we get disappointed. these expectations from others make us distrustful and depressed.

Then we start blaming...

We also lose the good part of ourselves by blaming others. Happiness is not something that someone gives you when you ask for it. It is your choice whether you want to be happy or not.

This is the biggest problem of a person when he does something for others. They also place their expectations on others.

These expectations sometimes hurt us badly. We may not be able to trust and depend.

The fact is that you can never truly control other people’s thoughts and behavior. Therefore, your likelihood of being let down by others increases with your need for them for your happiness.
When the inevitable occurs, your relationships take a negative turn.

How I can make Myself Happy?

How can I make myself happy? When I ask myself this question, the answer is to do everything only for myself.

Happiness is inside you. It depends on how you make efforts for yourself.

Many methods can help you find happiness. But first, find yourself that you have lost somewhere.

Take care of Yourself

Take care of yourself. Think about your likes and dislikes. Make yourself a priority. Don’t hold yourself back.

Remember that you are more important than anything else. So love yourself.

Believe on God

I know at some point in life when things don’t go your way. You feel that this is the end of life and cannot find happiness.

But believe that God is the best planner. He knows what is best for you so leave everything to Him. Believe that you find inner peace when you leave everything to God.

Have self-compassion

Self-compassion helps to understand the ups and downs. Ups and downs are part of life so don’t be too hard on yourself.

Sometimes failure is the best way to achieve big goals. So celebrate this moment because it makes you energetic.

Start God Gratitude

This is the best remedy for finding happiness. When you stop blaming and start thanking God in any situation.

It leads you to the peace of your soul. Start practicing gratitude in your life and what you have and haven’t achieved.

Make time for Yourself

Take time for yourself. Do what you want to do. Do activities that make you happy. Set goals and strive to achieve them.

Go out and enjoy the little moments in life. Don’t compare yourself with others. Life is too short don’t waste it thinking.

Finally, I got the Answer…

I don’t need to go anywhere to find happiness. It is all within me. It’s just a matter of time and effort that you put in yourself.
Remember that happiness is your right. So don’t spoil it by relying on others. Put yourself first, stop thinking about others.

You can find happiness it all depends on you. So be happy and spread happiness around you.
