What do you really need to be happy? Chances are, it doesn't exists outside of yourself. As humans we often search from the earth's core to the atmosphere for representations of happiness. We hope it will show up in the things we buy, eat, do, or drive. When, what we really want is meaning. You want your time on earth to stand for something. To mean something. It does when you remember... you complete you.
So, what does it take to make you happy? The answer is you. You are already complete. Whole. Don't ever believe any different. You were perfect when you arrived. As you've grown, lived, and gained some understanding, you've started to find your frailties. Maybe even sharing them with others. "Look, there are things wrong with me." Oh, if we didn't have magazines and televisions to tell us how we should look, think, or feel. Life would be so much easier.
You are at the Heart of Your Own Happiness
There's a great song by India Arie, entitled, "I Choose." "I choose, to be the best that I can be... I choose. To be authentic in everything I do. My past don't dictate who I am. I choose."
Choose to be happy. While your life circumstances may not be. You don't need to have everything go beautifully to feel beautiful. Just a change in perspective. Those who have the most trials, often bring the most kindness and good spirit to our lives. If you're ever in doubt of how to feel complete, start filling you from the inside. Everything begins there.
Wishing you peace and inner happiness!
