I previously mentioned on this blog that I am fully happy when I am alone in my room with some music on or in total silence. I am not an anti social person, I really just enjoy my own company most times.
We all have our different mindsets and values which a lot of times contribute to our happiness. Talking to people in my circle makes me happy; as we share similar values and mindsets but self love is predominant and should come first.
Having the confidence to act as oneself and being proud of one’s abilities and appearance add up to happiness.
I mentioned finding something that makes you happy and feel wanted, for me it is this blog; it is a huge part of my happiness. I know I do not post as regularly as I used to but I have moments when I look back on previous posts or remember a comment that someone made about how a piece I wrote made them feel; or what they got from it and that makes me incredibly happy. This blog gives me the opportunity to share my thoughts and is also an outlet for me to be heard.
I discussed on “What Keeps You Alive” that our personal daily rituals are a massive part of why we are still here today. It is a part of what keeps us going as well as the previous things I said but can happiness be measured, are there levels to it?
I mean if I have self love and the things I mentioned but do not have something that I crave so much which is my own family and love, does that mean I am not happy? I guess it depends on what my priorities are. I was talking with a friend about how much love I have for myself. I have no doubt that it is pure beautiful love but I would rather be happy with someone than be happy alone but then again I am comfy by myself. I definitely rate having love and family around me over self love and confidence. Sometimes I wonder if I would be depressed if I was, let’s say 40, without love and family, surely my self love would be gone because I would feel like I did not achieve self actualisation.
Happiness really depends on what we rank more in life, it depends on our priorities and what we truly love to do. Some people live for others and that makes them happy, some need a higher purpose, some need someone they can wake up to & some only need themselves but what if we wanted all?
Can 100% happiness ever be achieved?
POTS 
I believe 100% happiness can be achieved easily but people generally are never satisfied, we always want more, we always feel like what we have is never enough, for example I look at my life right now and I think to myself I’m not 100% happy because I want this, I want that etc but when I think about it, there are people who would kill to be in the position I am, so why am I not 100% happy now when what I have is what less fortunate people aim to have in their life? … It really is a mentality thing we need to spend more time embracing what we have now and less time wishing for better and happiness will be in our lives daily.
