Knowing how to be happy is something nearly everyone can relate to, yet so often it feels elusive. We set goals, achieve milestones, and check off boxes, believing they’ll deliver lasting joy. Still, we only find ourselves restless or disappointed. Happiness, after all, is a fleeting emotion, a passing state. What many overlook is the deeper, more sustainable path: peace and joy as states of being. These aren’t tied to circumstances or accomplishments; they’re rooted in presence, gratitude, and a connection beyond the ego.
