happiness rewrite

 Writing this book was a journey into my own heart and beliefs. I like figuring out answers for myself, exploring what feels right and true for my own life.

So many people say happiness is an emotion, it's fleeting. There's no way to hold on to it. But what if that was because we've been doing it wrong? We haven't been aware of the root of happiness. So, what is that?  I found the words for it by the time I finished the book. The root of happiness is love. Think of your happiest moments.  Typical ones include your wedding day, the birth of your child, graduating, accomplishing a goal... They are moments that you are filled with love. Love for someone else, love for yourself, even love of nature!
I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't have to be fleeting. Learn your love languages and how you can speak them to yourself. This way your happiness isn't dependent on the people around you.
