As a life coach, one of the reasons people come to you is so that you can help them find happiness in their lives. If you’re not a life coach, you may be wondering how you can find true happiness in your life.
The most important lesson we must learn is that happiness is not obtained through material possessions or by being like someone else. While it’s great to have role models to learn from, happiness won’t come from trying to be like them. This is also true with material possessions. These things are great, and you can have as many as you want, but trying to find happiness through these things will only leave you empty.
True happiness will only come when you find and start to achieve your passion in life. You see, you could have all the money, the big house, and the car of your dreams, but if you hate what you’re doing in life, you’ll never be truly happy. On the other hand, you may not have a lot of money, live in a small house, and have a mediocre car, but be the happiest person on the planet. Because? Because you have found your passion and you live it every day.
Whether you are rich or poor, happiness is found in fulfilling your passion and purpose in life. There’s a great quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson that says it all. He says: ‘A man’s happiness in this life does not consist in his absence but in the mastery of his passions.’
In other words, master your passions in life and happiness will follow. However, if you ignore your passions and purposes, you will live a life in which you will feel unfulfilled because, deep down, you will always know that there is more of you to give.
