The Hard Truths About Life Everyone Forgets
7 Pieces of Life Lessons That Will Change Your Perspective
Happiness is a Choice
Many people think happiness happens to them, rather than something they have to actively work toward.
So, they wait to achieve certain goals or acquire specific material that they think will bring them lasting joy.
That’s why people are never truly happy.
When they finally achieve their goals, they realize, to their surprise, that the things they thought would make them happy only last for a short time.
Nothing you acquire can make you happy if you choose to be happy. Happiness tied to things outside of yourself won’t last.
If you want to be happy, you just have to consistently find it within yourself, no matter what’s going on around you.
“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.”
— Dalai Lama.
The life you have is the life you created for yourself.
Most people often say that their lack of success is because of their tough backgrounds.
