Happiness is intangible

You can't rely on someone else

Because people aren't perfect

They will let you down

And if you're finding your happiness

Within someone else,

You will find disappointment

You can't depend on circumstances

Because they are beyond your control

They change constantly

And are dependent upon many things

Other than an end result of

Personal satisfaction of your desire

Happiness can come from without

From people, from circumstances,

But sustainable, true happiness

Has but one source,

And it comes from within

It cannot be found, or relied upon

If your reliance for happiness

Lies externally,

You won't be able to focus

On those things internal

But when you do come to

Being able to accept internal happiness

Those things without

That once gave superficial joy

Are now more valuable
