If happiness is a place located on the world map, there will be a lot of us who will be blinded with directions and not be able to find it with a traditional compass. No, not even with a GPS set. Then you may ask, how to find true happiness amidst the bustling life that we are living right now?

We never cease to wonder how to find true happiness; and we still wonder if it is really possible to find true happiness. However, most of us could not even define what exactly is true happiness. How does true happiness look like? How does true happiness feel like?

The only way on how to find true happiness is to know what true happiness is. Well, wouldn’t it be easier to look for something if you already know how it looks like at least. That is why nobody can ever tell you the exact directions to locate or find true happiness, because the destination differs from person to person.

Some people find true happiness in material wealth, the more they have the happier they get. Some people find true happiness in spiritual enlightenment, they are happy when they are meditating and submitting to the power of the omnipotent. While there are others who are happy when they learn new things and new discoveries. That is why people are happy when they travel to foreign countries.

So in order to really find true happiness is to define it first yourself.

Can $10,000 a month make me happy? Can the kids make me happy? Can that Lexus make me happier?

Ask yourself what makes your heart pound with joy. Go back to your past and list down your happy moments. Feel the excitement and euphoria that surrounds you when you won that first trophy, that spelling competition, your first pet, your first bike, your first trip to the beach, your first kiss and the list is endless.

You don’t have to look far on how to find true happiness, because the destination is within your self. Once you can define what true happiness really mean, then it is time to work towards that objective.

If having a lot of financial wealth means happiness to you, then find out ways to improve your financial condition. Don’t dwell on how to be happy just by thinking about it. While affirmations can work to a certain extent, it is your guided actions that will lead you to your desired destination.

You will now be able to enjoy what you are doing because you know the actions that you are taking will eventually point you to the land of true happiness.
