Why you shouldn't be in a relationship if you're not happy

Too many people I know are not happy, they think that once they find "the one" (their soulmate) that they will be happy. But we know that is simply not true, in fact you should be happy with yourself before you start looking for a relationship. You should never let your happiness depend on anyone other then yourself. If you rely on other people to bring you happiness, your consistency of happiness will go down a lot, and you will never truly be happy. Do be truly happy it has to come from you, not from doing something, not from being with someone. Happiness comes from living in the now, and many people mistake happiness for pleasure. This is where the expression money doesn't buy happiness, which is true. Pleasure can feel like happiness but it is only temporary. Like you're happy when you're driving a nice car, well that is just pleasure, happiness comes from living in the now. If you do get into a relationship, and you aren't truly happy, it can have negative effects. when/if you end up breaking up then your happiness is gone, whereas if you rely on yourself and have inner peace then when you break up you may be a little bummed, but ultimately you will still have your happiness. If you are looking for that one and only person to make you happy, then you let them dictate not only the relationship but your life, they have FULL control over your emotions and happiness. And that is just now how it should be!
