Where Do We Find True and Lasting Happiness?

Where Do We Find True and Lasting Happiness? For the longest
time I was convinced that I was not happy unless I had a partner
to share my life with. I just knew that having someone to share
glorious sunrises and romantic sunsets would make me happy. I
even came close to marrying someone who made me feel as if I was
the happiest person on the face of the earth only to find out
that it was not actually him that made me happy. This is the
mistake most all of us make when we are dating and even more so
when we have been married and have become accustomed to having
someone around all the time then suddenly we are thrust back
into this crazy dating world that has changed so much since we
were gone that we need to go to Dating College to get educated
and learn the lingo not to mention the new rules to even be a
player in the game. OK, so you think you know the answers, what
makes you happy, what will keep you happy and that special
something that will attract you and keep you attracted? I think
you are going to be surprised at what I have to say. The
greatest lesson I have learned if I have learned anything in my
dating trials and tribulations is that I am the only person on
this earth that is responsible for my happiness. The only place
that happiness lives forever, with or without a partner is
within you. You have the power to create and maintain your own
happiness. Love is great to have and share, but in order to
share what you have to offer, you must first find that happiness
within yourself and the person that sees that happiness in you
will want to be part of that happiness. So you see, the search
and the quest for that fulfillment is endless as long as you
choose not to look inside yourself. Enjoy the journey,
experience what life has to offer, always keeping your happiness
in focus, first and foremost. YOU, are the reason for your
happiness, let it shine, share it with the world and you will
receive that happiness back in your heart ten fold. Your Friend
in Love ~Dove
