We do various things in life to achieve happiness.
However, it boggles the mind that even after achieving our biggest goals, we are still not happy.
The more success we achieve, the hungrier we become.
Sometimes we pay a fortune for entertainment but that still doesn’t bring true happiness.
Others have enough money to buy all that their hearts desire but ironically, can’t seem to find happiness.
You may find that material success alone isn’t enough to bring joy.
Our interactions with other people has great influence on our happiness or lack.
Having a sense of humour serves us well to achieve inner peace.
You may have all the material goods in the world, but if you don’t have a good relationship with your family, friends and neighbours, you won’t be truly happy.
Do things that fulfil you and not things that will make people think you are happy. Be thankful and content with what you have!
