I'm going to ask you a question you probably don't think about too often.

Where does your happiness come from?

Don't worry if you have to think about the answer.

Not a lot of us reflect on what really makes us happy.

Ice cream, a long run to burn off the ice cream. A great book, like the one I'm

reading from Ryan Holiday right now. These are some things that bring a smile to my face, but

where does your happiness come from and how do we define where or what?

Sometimes happiness feels like an emotion that comes to us naturally or a feeling that just happens

on its own.

A memory of someone or a smell reminding you of your favorite home coat meal from years ago,

but what if I told you that you have everything you need

already right now to be happier? I know it sounds like clickbait, but I mean it. Like, what if I were

to tell you that you have everything you need right now to be happier.

We've all been here, so it's not too difficult to imagine, but imagine you're about to start a brand new chapter in your life. After working hard for years, you get that dream job in the

new city, and you've got a new place, a fresh start, and you're earning exactly what you had hoped for,

but once you're there, you feel a little sad.

You're not able to relax as much as you thought.

Maybe you're homesick, or even thinking,

I don't know, what now?

You're supposed to feel happy happy in this case, right?

It can be challenging to pinpoint the source of your happiness.

Let me see that again.
