Your own inner happiness, is it there?

I have been thinking a lot of why we suffer so much with not being fulfilled in life. Why our actions don't take us to the happiness we think we will experience. Why the feelings of being okay with the situations we are in never comes. Why we continuously search for more than what we have now, in people, situations and things. Could it just be this simple we have adopted a thought behavior created by the consumption society were they benefit from us never being fully happy and healthy?

Could you resonate with that thought? By just change the way you think about things, think it from your point of view and not societies you will then feel how different the situations your in feels.

It is so common especially for us young adults in todays society to early in life reach well paid jobs, titles, achieve an "in societies way" a good lifestyle with lot of events, maintain an important role in our friendship groups, have expensive cars, lifestyle and living situations. Isn't it strange when we during our early years of begin to work and our student years are striving to achieve so much at the same time? Come from nothing, go for everything.  Its not said we have all of this, but we are striving to have all of this and preferably have it by tomorrow.

The sad part is that happiness doesn't applies with things, people and situations and we know that but our programmings are so focused on it anyway and that inward struggle gets very difficult to handle.

Sometimes we need to sit with our feelings and collect them all together and try to puzzle out our own puzzles. What are we feeling and why are we feeling this way? Did you want that good looking car for your own sake? Or did you need it to gain something that inside needs to be healed but instead you find it easier to reach attention to be the person with the nice car. If you would have wanted it if you lived on an island without social media thats good, then you got the car for your own inner happiness and well-being. And you filled your own cup and sure are very well deserving that car if you find it like a fun part in life to drive that.
The same with the job you strived for, for so long time and finally have but it didn't reach your expectations. It wasn't feeling that good, something inside feels wrong and empty and you can't put your finger onto it. In my opinion we stay stuck in situations unnecessary because of what we got taught by society and followed the rules like a slave. Is it really you, your highest self that wanted to be a doctor or a teacher, or were you stuck in the thinking that society wants me to do this kind of job? When we are doing what we are meant to be we will be met by a flow were everything comes together, you can feel it how it balances out your body. Its nothing said that it won't be difficult or hard times there but it will not leave you empty and search for more. And that we can apply to in our whole lives, why do we settle for less when we deserve the best for ourselves?

Go for what your inner child finds fun and your set, your inner child doesn't care about what your instagram friends thinks or what your family have for opinions about your career if your happy and feel free. Free to be the person you are and free to break free from societies way of doing things.

Only you can know whats best for you, you know it by the way it feels.
