Be Responsible For Your Own Happiness

Happiness is an inside job. Don’t assign anyone else that much power over your life. Mandy Hale


When I saw this quote I had to think twice, just imagine giving someone that much power over you...it means whatever action that person takes determines your happiness. What if he or she takes that power for granted, does it mean finding happiness would be difficult?

We tend to rely on other people to make us happy, which is not a bad thing on a short term but becomes a problem on a long term. Waiting to be in a relationship to be happy or waiting for someone to make you happy could end up being a disappointment for you. What if it takes too long to find love, that job, or that thing you are waiting for? Would you remain without happiness?

Figuring out a way to make yourself happy helps without so much expectations from others, so you can actually choose to be happy because only you have control over your emotions. Finding ways to bring alive that bubbling spirit, making it an habit to notice those little things that makes you smile and training your mind to look for the good in every situation.


Sometimes the way you think and your perspective about life limits the happiness you feel....as there is a saying that "Happiness is a thing of the mind", so you need to work on your mind. As much as the world is becoming a scary place to live in, you need to find that comfort within yourself to be able to face situations that may come without feeling totally miserable.

It may not be so easy for some persons but it is worth working towards and achieving because at the end of the day it is "your" happiness and you can't rely for long on someone or something for it. Importantly, only when you find and are responsible for your own happiness can you share with others.


Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are ~ Henry Van Dyke
