Happiness comes from within. Happiness is an esoteric thing.
Contrary to what you may have believed so far, happiness is not found outside of yourself but within you.
Surely people, things, places, and situations around you can make you feel happy, but the kind of happiness they instill in you is fragile, rather superficial, and in most cases evaporates when they change or disappear.
True and ultimate happiness comes from within, is stronger and can last for a lifetime. The only thing you need is to first acknowledge that fact and then get there.
And this is what this article is about. So, let’s do some exploring!
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
Happiness Comes From Within
Do you ever catch yourself thinking that you’ve got to have this or that and then you will be happy?
And when you get there, your satisfaction may be immense in the beginning but soon defuses and you find yourself back again striving for that happy feeling.
When you tie your happiness to external circumstances you set yourself up for getting trapped in a vicious cycle.
But when you realize that happiness comes from within you and can remain unaffected and intact regardless of your given experiences each time, then you will have taken the first yet most essential step towards lasting happiness.
Have you heard the saying “Pain is inevitable but misery is an option”? No one can avoid painful experiences but that doesn’t force anyone to remain unhappy.
People who have grasped this difference can turn to their inner resources, discipline their minds, and wear their happy smiles.

"True happiness flows from the possession of wisdom and virtue and not from the possession of external goods."
How To Bring Out Your Innate Happiness?
So, now that you know that happiness comes from within how can you bring it out? Here are 3 useful tips to help you see your options, dig them out and feel happy all the time.
1. Switch to a positive mindset
Easier said than done. Your mind is trained to look out for dangers and threats because it wants to keep you safe. The victimhood feeling that often follows misfortune can also take you down the rabbit hole. However, when you believe that happiness comes from within it becomes easier to flip the script.
It takes effort and discipline to actually discover that happiness comes from within and change your mindset from negative to positive. But it can be done. Meditation practices, keeping a gratitude list, and searching for the silver lining in any situation (it always exists but you have to find it) are great ways to help you switch to a positive outlook.

“Happiness depends on ourselves.”
2. Live in the moment
There is no use dwelling on the past since what’s done is done. The future on the other hand is unknown so what’s the use of worrying about it?
Some people tend to get their minds preoccupied with past or future thoughts and miss living in the present, which by the way is called the present for a reason.
If you belong to that category, you may choose to start getting more grounded in the here and now because “the now” is all that we have.
This is of great importance because it is by living in the present moment that we can truly sense, experience, enjoy, and appreciate the universal truth of life that happiness comes from within. I am referring, ofcourse, to the innate happiness that exists within each and every one of us.
So be mindful, become aware and take notice of your current state and your surroundings. Begin to feel gratefulness for the breath you are breathing and I promise you, that as you do you will begin to feel and experience the truth that happiness comes from within. How would you like to try that?
3. Be kind
Kindness is contagious and so is smiling. When you behave with kindness to others, you are polite and you wear your shining smile, you spread positive vibes around you and allure people to behave kindly too.
You feel more connected and secure and your soul is lit up. What better way to experience the fact that happiness comes from within?
What you give is what you get and gets back to you multiplied. So, since we cannot go against the law of attraction why not use it wisely?
Start raising your vibration by knowing that true happiness comes from within. Start putting your best foot forward when interacting with others and you will see the results in a very short time.
"It is the active exercise of our faculties in conformity with virtue that causes happiness, and the opposite activities its opposite."
True Happiness Comes From Within
So, there you have it. When it boils down to it, true happiness comes from within and can be found in yourself regardless of your external circumstances.
However, it takes time and effort to find your innate resources of happiness, cultivate them, and experience that most sought-after feeling of joy and happiness.
