Today I woke up thinking that I am happy. But have I achieved happiness?

Let’s take a definition of happiness

Happiness is a positive and satisfying state of mind, often associated with feelings of contentment and achievement. It is considered the ultimate goal of life by many people.

What is being happy?

Happy is often used to describe a temporary feeling of joy or pleasure, while happiness is a more lasting and deep state of satisfaction. While happy can be influenced by external events, happiness is generally considered to come from within and is related to our perception and interpretation of our life.

Considering the descriptions above, I can say that that morning when I woke up I was happy. Can I say that I have reached the fullness of happiness? I don’t think so yet, but just writing these lines, I tell myself that it’s up to me to go and find it.

Happiness comes only from oneself and each individual carries the responsibility for their happiness. Every day, each individual can add a small part to their edifice.

And you? Have you achieved happiness?
