Happiness Exists In The Here And Now


"The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart."- Thich Nhat Hanh-

Happiness doesn't come about by having an accumulation of wealth, acceptance from others or the perfect body. It instead starts with having the internal strength and courage to confront your insecurities and grow from them as a source of personal empowerment. Happiness isn't something that exists in the past or future, it exists in the here and now, even as we face the inevitable struggles and challenges of everyday life. You will never find happiness unless you choose happiness as a way of being because if you are suffering in your heart, that pain will surely follow you wherever you go.
