Many of us have been conditioned to believe that external accomplishments and societal expectations will bring us happiness. We strive to achieve more, accumulate more, and conform to the standards set by others. While these pursuits may bring temporary satisfaction, they often leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled in the long run. Happiness that is solely dependent on external circumstances is fragile and easily disrupted. Life is unpredictable, and the circumstances we rely on for happiness can change in an instant. Therefore, placing our happiness solely outside of ourselves puts us at the mercy of external factors beyond our control. Finding happiness within ourselves requires a shift in perspective. It involves recognizing that true contentment comes from our thoughts, emotions, and inner sense of purpose. By acknowledging our own needs, values, and desires, we can begin to cultivate a deep sense of fulfillment regardless of external circumstances.
