Happiness - Where does it start?

People may search for happiness by buying a car or a house. They may even search for this happiness through another person. But, they are searching for happiness in all the wrong places. Happiness has to start from within. The car, house, or person may bring you some happiness. But once that euphoric feeling wears away, and eventually it will fade, you will then find yourself grasping for something or someone else in hopes of obtaining that happiness again.

It is important to have self-love, inner peace, and inner happiness. Because you cannot bring that which you lack into the life of another. Know that you are no greater or no less of a person than the person next to you. No matter your position in life, be it in the physical or spiritual world, we are all children of God. We are all children of the Universe. The only difference between us is our level of spirituality. We are individual boats in the same ocean of life paddling towards the same destination at our own pace.
