What is happiness to you? Most of us are on a quest for what we don't know or truly understand. You can't know where to find happiness until you define what happiness is to you. Most of us on this quest for happiness are looking for other people's definition of happiness - not ours. That is why we always have this feeling of unsatisfaction within us despite our many exploits and accomplishments and it's making us feel quite miserable.

Some of us have been told that happiness could be found in a good job, a good relationship, partying, philanthropy, having multiple sexual partners, religion, etc. We've engaged and some of us are still engaging in some of these things but we are finding ourselves feeling very miserable and unhappy. "Where then can we find this happiness?" We've asked ourselves several times but the answer doesn't seem to be forth coming.

Look, if you must find happiness, there's only one place that you can find it in this life: and that one place is "within yourself." You will never know what happiness is to you until you look within you yourself. Happiness is a feeling that's connected to our emotions, but that emotion has to be triggered by something. You have to look within you so that you can find out that something that can trigger the happiness emotion in you and make you feel satisfied once accomplished.

Your happiness is your own definition and you have to find out what it is if you're going to enjoy a happy life. We all can be happy and our happiness are in our hands: not in the hands of someone else. But we have to find out that thing that stirs happiness in US and lavish it on ourselves.

Thanks for your time.

The greatest gifts that you can give to yourself each day are Love and Respect. No one would treat you better than you treat yourself.

Love and respect are two very important gifts that you must give yourself each day in order for you to have a great day. I call them gifts because they are very valuable and a gift is something of great value that you give to someone; but this time, that someone is you.

You need your own gift of love and respect. And no one can give that to you if you haven't first given them to yourself. These two gifts will influence how you'll treat and carry yourself all through the day, and how others would relate with you.

When you treat yourself right and carry yourself right, you're showing others how to relate with you right and treat you right. And it is only when you love and respect yourself that you would understand what it means to treat and carry yourself right.

You are all you've got and you deserve the best. But no one can give you the best that you deserve until you first start giving it to yourself. Love and respect yourself daily because that's a debt you owe yourself and can never finish paying for as long as you live on this earth. You're all you've got and you should never deprive yourself from having the best.
