Many times, you run around like crazy, looking for them, and then realize that they were in your pocket all the time. That’s the deal with happiness. It resides within you. You just have to stop, take a deep look within yourself, try to calm your inner demons of anger, lust, greed, desire, jealousy, and you will discover happiness.
