True happiness is achieved through self-satisfaction, self-fulfillment and the discovery of true love. Without these three elements, a person could never be truly happy. Without an individual knowing that they have achieved something great on their own and fulfilled their dreams, they may lack self-esteem. Because it is impossible to maintain constant feelings of intense love, many couples today are truly happy. Each individual in the relationship feels personal satisfaction, personal fulfillment, and true love because these feelings have faded.
