The one thing we all want from life

2 min readFeb 16, 2021

There is one thing everyone wants from life. The answer is simple. We all want to be happy!

Everything you do is all in an attempt to be happy. But what if happiness is right in front of you and you just don’t see it.

What makes you happy?

This is a question with a wide variety of answers, most of them having to do with getting a better job or a new car or some other thing money can buy. I hate to tell you, but money doesn’t buy you happiness.

Happiness comes from being content with what you have. It’s a hard lesson to learn. It doesn’t matter what you buy, if you aren’t satisfied with what you have, you won’t be happy.

You’ve probably tried to convince yourself that if you get that promotion at work, you’ll be happy. For a while, you might be, but the newness of the promotion wears off, and you start looking for the next thing that makes you happy. A new car or a bigger t.v.

When you look at your happiness this way, you will never have enough things to make you happy. They are just quick fixes that give you a sense of happiness for a short time but soon fade away. Your happiness needs to be built on something that will last.

What you own or how much money you have shouldn’t determine your happiness. It shouldn’t even play a part…
