Within You (Motivational Speech)

So many of you are looking for fulfillment
Where it can never be found
You are looking for fulfillment in things
Possessions, money, recognition
You're looking for fulfillment in another person
Praise from a parent, love from another person
A "Well done" from the world

But here's the problem
You can never find it outside of you
It can only be found within you
All the happiness and joy you could ever hope for and more
It is within you now

The truth is, we don't need all those other things to complete our life
We don't need anything outside ourselves to be happy right now
Think back to a time in your life
You didn't have those things you seek but were still happy
Perhaps when you were a child, perhaps not too long ago

The reason why you were happy without those things
Is down to what you chose to focus on
Your focus wasn't on what was not there
It was on what was there
And happiness is always there
If you choose to focus on finding it

We tend to always look for happiness outside ourselves
But we all know that it doesn't come from there
Whatever we perceive as reality becomes our reality
If you listen to the world and the opinions of others
You may well come to believe that happiness is only gained
Once you make money or get that nice car or that great house

Why do we want those things anyway?
Why do we want the car, the house, the money, that perfect person?
All of it without exception we want
Because we believe getting it will make us better
We believe it will make us feel better, make us feel happier

Don't get dragged into the expectations of society
You don't need this and that to be happy and complete
What you need is always within you, it never goes away
You are complete right now

Look within you
Feel the truth, that is
You can decide to be happy right now

Find something to be grateful for
Choose to lift others up
Give attention rather than seek it
Find your life's purpose and set goals that light the spark within you

Believe in yourself
Believe you deserve it all
Believe your life has meaning
There is nothing you can not accomplish
When you are free from the burden of looking for things
Outside of yourself to fulfill you

Just know you have the answers
Trust your intuition
Trust everything will be ok in the end
Everything will be great in the end
Everything will be magical in the end

It's all within you
It's called belief
It's called faith
Faith in yourself
Belief in yourself
