Some people say they are happy when they really aren't. They base their happiness on things such as cars, girls (or guys), money, a fancy job and so on rather than basing their happiness from within themselves. See, basing your happiness on objects is called object-referral. That kind of happiness doesn't last forever. Object-referral happiness only lasts as long as the object of referance is there. Once that fancy job title, sexy girlfriend, money, or car is gone, your confindence goes away as well. When you are truely happy and base you happiness from within, that happiness or confidence doesn't go away. It can be called self-referral. What I mean from happiness coming from within is that you draw your happiness based on true self-confindence. That means you love yourself and you are unfearful of being yourself. Some people avoid being themselves in fear that people won't like them. If you constantly look for approval, you will NEVER be truely happy. The thing with object-referral happiness that you have that fany job, supermodel girlfriend, and you draw happiness from you money is being you think with all that stuff, people will like you, but when all that stuff is gone, you have to find another way to get people to like you. You search for that acceptance and are affraid you won't be accepted. When you are truely happy, this fear doesn't exist because you have self-confindence.
So, I'll ask you now: Are you happy? Please don't make a joke out of this thread, I want a serious discussion.
