Happiness


Perhaps the reason for self-help conventions, books and videos are so popular is because humans grasp at the hope of sustained happiness.  

From my own personal experience those moments of elation and thinking I found the holy grail of happiness retreated and flew away within an hour of finding that holy grail.  

Searching for permanent happiness outside of ourselves is always fleeting. And as the mind works even moments of intuition can be just as fleeting.  

Happiness is found by repeatedly searching our own beliefs, behaviors and influences. 

The more you know yourself the less fleeting happiness is because you will find what really makes you happy and nothing can ever take that away from you.
