AES42 Finding the happiness in me

Throughout my life, I feel like people always say that happiness comes from yourself but I’ve never truly understood what that meant. I feel like just now I have realized and truly understood what that actually means. For me, it’s more about not expecting people to do things that make you happy, and just do things for yourself. It’s actually not as complicated as it sounds. 

Because the issue that I found in myself was that I was just expecting people to make me happy. The thing is I can’t control people, and if I keep relying my happiness on anything other than myself it’s kinda pointless. In reality, people do disappoint me, so many people have let me down to the point that I decided that I am going to make myself happy whatever it takes. 

My way to feel happiness from myself was to thank myself and be proud of myself. Because here’s the thing, no one understands me more than I do. I know that I put much hard work into things, so I appreciate myself. I celebrate small things that I accomplish. 

Inner happiness is really about knowing yourself, appreciating yourself, rewarding yourself, and loving yourself. With the harmony of all of that, I felt true happiness purely from myself. Oh yeah one more thing, this is also really important. Believing in yourself, because for a long time in my life I didn’t believe that I was capable to do so much more. I believed when people say I wasn’t capable of something. But the second I try to focus on what’s really going on and giving myself time to get things done. Things actually get done and I can achieve things I thought I couldn’t.
