Are you struggling to find inner happiness? Read this

In our day and age, we have become accustomed to thinking of happiness as a goal to be achieved rather than an emotional state felt in the present moment.

 We long for happiness and hope to find it someday, yet we are always in search of it and many of us go our whole lives without realizing it until it is too late.

 We tie our well-being to a goal, to the number of likes on our Instagram posts or even to a person.

 But in reality, the moment we are so eager to capture will bring us the joy we crave.

 We live in a world that constantly seeks validation from others and we use the metrics of others to judge our self-worth.

It is important that we ask ourselves Why?

Why do we choose to live this way?

 Why do we choose to be tied to comparison with others?

 Why do we allow the comments of others to affect us so much?

 Why do we choose unhappiness when we have the option to choose something else?

 Why do we look for happiness outside when we have it within ourselves?

 It only takes a moment to choose something different, to choose differently and find the inner happiness we long for.

It is time to feel complete

 We insist on pursuing our goals and objectives, however, we forget that reaching them will not make us feel complete.

We must learn to feel complete from now on, while working towards our goals, otherwise we will always remain unsatisfied.

 Sometimes we worry more about how many likes we get on Instagram than why we shared the photo in the first place.

 We post the photo to share a beautiful scene, a memory, a moment that moved us and took our breath away.

 Sometimes we become obsessed with finding that perfect person, believing them to be "the one," which leads us to push them away from ourselves.

 We put her on a pedestal, that makes our happiness depend on her approval, forgetting that we need nothing more than our own acceptance. When you see yourself as a whole person, deserving of happiness and not needing anyone else's validation, that other person begins to see you the same way.

If you are struggling with happiness, remember that you are not alone.

 Know that happiness is not impossible to achieve and has always been close to you.

 All you have to do is recognize it.

 Count your blessings, surround yourself only with the things and people that make you happy, understand that perhaps happiness is in being who you really are at this moment.

 Have confidence in yourself, express your truth and live life without judging what others think.
 Happiness is real and is found within you.

 Pain ends, suffering has its end.

True happiness is in forgetting everything you should be and instead being exactly who you are in this moment.
