Happiness is an internal state that has nothing to do with relationships, money, or external validation, yet many women mistakenly define their happiness through others, particularly romantic partners.

• True happiness comes from within and is defined as "the state of being happy," not dependent on another person
• Many women get into relationships for convenience without ensuring they genuinely like their partner's personality and values
• Maintaining separate interests and friendships outside your relationship is crucial for personal fulfillment
• Motherhood shouldn't be your entire identity; children naturally separate as they grow, leaving moms who haven't developed themselves feeling lost
• Real friendships involve accountability and genuine care, not just people who agree with everything or gossip partners
• Online connections aren't substitutes for real-life friendships with face-to-face energy exchanges
• Self-care isn't just about massages—it's about knowing yourself and understanding your personal needs
• Money, relationships, and status don't guarantee happiness; even millionaires and celebrities struggle with unhappiness
