Be Careful Not To Think Happiness is Love
We have all thought at one point in our life something similar to the below:
“If only I could find a girlfriend/boyfriend, I know it would help in becoming happy.”
Yet, we have all gotten our heart broken by at least one person after believing we had found “the One”.
So what should we be careful of? Thinking happiness cannot happen without someone else.
There are many people in this world that go through life without a partner and still live happily. I know some of them and one in particular has always been among the most positively happy people I’ve met in my life.
Happiness is something which can be shared. But it isn’t something that can be received from others. Outside components contribute to us becoming happy but, in the end, the happiness we get is only our own.
You can explain, share, show the world your happiness but not a single person will be able to understand the total extent of it. They may get a part of it, feel the happiness flowing from us, but nothing you can do will permit the other to experience the exact same amount.
Being in love is an incredible feeling. I am sure we have all felt it at one point and whether you still are or not, you certainly remember this overwhelming experience.
