There are many self-improvement sites that offer suggestions on how to become the best “you” possible. Their tips include exercising and eating better, while they also suggest removing “clutter,” like negativity, pessimism, and the fear of failure. While many of these tips are practical, the most important way to become the best “you” possible is to find what makes you truly happy.

Happiness draws people to you and breeds success! It’s true. Most people who end up in the most successful positions don’t get there because they’re unhappy with what they do or with who they are. More than likely, they are confident and proud of their accomplishments, and they’ve set their sights on a goal that they work toward with passion.

So what is it that you want to do? Where do you see your life heading? And how can you get there? The first step is to find your inner happiness—and don’t hold back. Find what makes your heart sing and your spirit jump for joy. When you’ve reached that state, you’ll know that the best version of yourself is growing inside you, waiting for its chance to blossom.
