What is happiness? Happiness is a feeling within. It comes from self-acceptance. When a person starts accepting their self and realize that those flaws are beautiful, if they overcome their consciousness over their physical appearances and make peace within, happiness would prevail.
Yes, materials can make us happy but that happiness is worldly. It would eventually fade with time and you would overcome the charm of it. Real happiness comes not from the worldly things but it can come from your family, your friends and yourself. Taking pride in your family and friends, being proud of your endeavors and thriving to be the best version of yourself by overcoming the little hurdles in your way is what would cause you eternal happiness because when you would look back in time, these little accomplishments would help you move further on.
Make a habit to set little goals, whether it be in your daily life or you can set weekly goals. Setting up these goals would make you work hard even for the little things because in the end, the achievements would make you happy. If you make the goal setting a habit of yours, it would prove to be beneficial for you in the longer run because you would start taking these little things seriously. If not, you will eventually get lazy with the little stuff and neglect it thinking its not that important, it might not be important for one, but it surely would make you more focused when you have set a goal towards it.
Small changes in your daily life would incline you towards getting things done whether it relates your work, family or friends. For example, setting a time frame to sit around with your family every day or going out with your friends once a week or working for a set sum of hours every day, these goals would help you overcome the lazy feelings and get you things done. This inclination would soon turn into achievements that you would whole heartedly cherish and hence, happiness would prevail within.
