Happiness

Are people truly happy anymore?  I think we all get so caught up in wanting things and that want seems to justify how happy we think we will be once we've attained it.  In reality, once we have attained our "want" we are no longer happy and want more or something else.  It's a vicious cycle of trying to find happiness in material objects or people.  To be truly happy, we just need to look inside ourselves and find the positive attributes that make us who we are.  If we find there are some negative attributes that we're not so proud of, then make the changes necessary to create as positive a self image as possible.  Nobody is perfect but you can be the judge of what makes you feel at peace about who you are.  Material objects or specific people cannot make you truly happy.  You can find joy in things and people and have love for people, but they are not what will make lasting happiness.  It is up to each one of us to be able to find our inner happiness and this is what will sustain you even when times seem bleak.
