What is Authentic Happiness?

Authentic happiness is found within as opposed to short lived happiness we attribute to someone or something outside of ourselves.

When we allow outside people, places or events to determine whether we are happy, we lose control and give up our authentic internal well-being.

Authentic Happiness Is:

  • A deep connection with your Source (God, Higher Being, Soul, Infinite Intelligence)

  • Creating vs. reacting. It comes from choosing your thoughts deliberately.

  • Being happy in the moment instead of doing something because you think it will make you happy sometime in the future

  • Accepting what is without attachment to the outcome of any situation

  • Not depending on others for your happiness or taking on the burden of trying to make someone else happy

  • Understanding that you can be happy no matter what is happening around you

  • Not judging yourself, others, events, circumstances….anything

  • Living without excuses

  • Loving yourself because you are an extension of Source

  • Listening to your internal voice instead of the voice of others, despite the expectations of your family, your religion, your culture, or your society.


What will truly make you happy? Is it wealth, health, love, sex, chocolate, travel, diamonds, a great job, helping others? These are all great things that can bring great joy, but make sure you don’t make them a requirement or prerequisite for your happiness. authentic happiness

The true definition of happiness is when you can be just as happy with these things as without. And the beautiful thing is, once you realize that you don’t need these outside things in order to be happy, that’s when they appear.

So get happy first. Get happy now. That’s the secret to authentic happiness.

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy. ~ The Dalai Lama
