Don't make the mistake of always chasing exterior things and material possessions. What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me, and this is true of every person. You don't need fancy cars, lavish homes, or seven figure bank accounts in order to be happy or fulfilled. Everything that you need to live the best life possible and fulfill all of your dreams and goals is already in you, all you need to do is find it and then channel it in the right direction. When you focus on outside things you can actually decrease your happiness because you are concentrating on things that are shallow and that have no real meaning in the true purpose of life.

Studies and research has shown that it is possible to be happy even when you have very little and life seems like a constant struggle to find employment or put food on the table. When you appreciate what you have and you maintain an attitude of gratitude you will always have everything you need no matter how much or how little it may seem to others. A simple life that is focused on internal things has been shown to provide the highest level of happiness for most people. A big mistake is to spend all of your time and efforts trying to achieve financial success beyond measure or looking for that one thing that will finally make you happy. There is no reason to waste time searching for something that you already have.
