Where is the happiness? How can we reach happiness. Where is the happiness? How can we reach happiness.

It is actually a futile effort to look for something that is inside of us outside, elsewhere. As we look for it outside, we move away from it. In this way, we think that happiness escapes us. However, it is always in the same place, that is, inside us. Happiness does not escape anywhere. What we do is turn our attention to other things in search of it. Often we don't think of anything when we are happy. Our attention is neither in the past nor in the future. When negative feelings and thoughts are absent, happiness shines within us like a sun. What is happiness? Happiness is our natural state of existence. The people who think the most are the most unhappy people. Only when we gain awareness of and master our thoughts, we can also transform our emotions. Positive thinking, meditations, prayer can help in these matters. Inner peace and happiness are intertwined. According to my own experience, when I felt happy, when I started thinking somehow, I realized that the happiness I felt diminished. And it was my negative thoughts that lowered my happiness. Why would we be unhappy? Thinking negatively about ourselves or someone else produces the same result. When we think of someone we don't love, it's not that person who makes us unhappy. It is our negative thoughts about that person and the negative feelings we feel towards him that make us unhappy. The issue has nothing to do with it. We are the interlocutors and responsible for the feelings and thoughts in our minds.
