In my understanding, Happiness is one of the most important thing that everyone needs in life, it doesn't matter who we are, where we are from, or our personalities — being rich or poor. A happy life is a contented life which feels comfortable and complete always..
Life most times usually come in a way that we never expected or planned, and because of that sometimes we may find it disappointing, annoying or even sad about the situation.
True happiness starts with self love, believing and trusting your self, with this, we can be able to improve our peace of mind, smile everyday and live life freely.
Having self love is capable of empowering us with more courage, the ability to endure, overcome challenges and unnecessary distractions. Then It's will be easier for us to live life freely without overlooking the situation before us. For instance, a poor family. Who always face financial problems but they are still satisfied with the little ones they have, not depending on anyone for survival, appreciating the wey they are with no dout, you may find them happy always living in a simple way. Not that their financial problems are solved but self love Grants them peace of mind to smile and be happy.
In the other way round, in side of some Rich family. It's made known to all that some Rich people are not living a happy life not that they are not wealthy enough, but in most cases self love is a bit distance. Here are some facts, most times I often see how some Rich people are good in making life decisions for their grownups sons and daughters. Example, a governor wants his son to get married to a classic maiden from a popular-great background (senator' daughter). His son might have a fiance already but do to the father's desire, he will decide to change his mind into marrying someone he never loved or have feelings for just to please his father.
If it's was a poor family decision, they will happily offer their support to ensure that their son marries the woman of his choice.
When self-love speaks it encourages anyone to go for that which he/she wants, when making life decisions one needs to follow that language of his/her heart because it's knows the best. Displeasing one self just to please another is against self peace of mind and can never promote or lead to a happy life. Because happiness and joy usually comes from we going for that which makes us comfortable and safe, not what others recommend. Everyone has their full right to live as he/she pleases, embracing self love strengths the inner being, making you feel satisfied with every of your decisions, filling you with peace of mind which brings happiness and joy. While not having self love is the same as going for what you never wanted, it's can't Grant peace of mind rather it chases joy and happiness away, and makes life feel empty all day.
Am concluding that happiness is what we build by making the right decision that best suits us, being satisfied with who we are and what we had got.
Happiness and joy is also the same with clear conscience, meaning that living a straight forward life that hurts no-one makes yours more perfect.
