You can’t depend on anyone else for your happiness. True happiness comes from within.
This is so true. So often people get caught up in thinking that they’ll be happy if they have this thing, or that job, or they’re dating that person. Those things are all great and their the icing on the happiness cake. The true happiness, that happiness cake, comes from within. Nothing and nobody can make you be truly happy. You need to find that happiness inside of you. Take a good look at yourself, at the person that you are and figure out what is going to make you happy. Is it your job that makes you happy, or the satisfaction you get from doing your job well. It’s nice and it’s great if your boss says “Hey, good job,” but that is nothing compared to the joy and satisfaction you get when you’ve done something and you KNOW you’ve done it well.
So look inside yourself and find out what it is that makes you truly happy and celebrate it. Once you figure it out, those other external things that make you happy will be just that much more sweet and enjoyable, you know, kind of like icing!
