The Secret to “Maximizing” Your Happiness
Happiness is an emotion that comes from within when you feel satisfied or experience a sense of fulfillment.
Happiness or a sense of contentment is something that everyone wants to have more of but are not actually sure how or what to do about it.
There is a question that everyone should ask themselves “What makes me Happy or What will make me happy?”
The answer to this depends on person to person as, for some people reaching their end goal in life will give them the utmost pleasure whereas for some it might be traveling around the world.
Happiness is not something that money can buy, on one side there might be a successful businessman having lots of money but struggles to find happiness whereas on the other side there is a poor person who is earning less but still lives happily along with his family.
