What if I didn’t need things to make me happy?

What if I didn’t need things to make me happy? What if I could find my happiness in this moment, with those near me, and in the circumstances that I find myself? The things we want bring us a temporary euphoria when we acquire them. The happiness they give us is short lived and we move on to the next thing. When I become happy with who I am, where I am, and with those around me, I’ve found something special and priceless.
