“One is happy as a result of one’s own efforts, once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness- simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and, above all, a clear conscience.”- George Sand, poet

You are the maker of your own happiness. You are responsible for your own happiness. It does not come from outside. Your happiness is within you. According to James Allen, “A man is happy, wise and great in the measure that he controls himself; he is wretched, foolish, and mean in the measure that he allows his animal nature to dominate his thoughts and actions.”

Happiness comes from the right thoughts and actions. It does not come from the wrong thoughts and actions. If you want to make yourself happier, you must direct your thoughts.

Chance Is Always Powerful

“Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; in the pod where you least expect it, there will be fish.”- Publius Ovidius

What are you looking for? Are you crying for a new relationship? Are you searching for a new job? Are you planning to move to another city? Are you tired of where you are working?

No matter what you are looking for, you can achieve it. It is within your reach. And to reach it, you must look within yourself. Start with yourself. Look within for what you are looking for. Everything is within you. God has given you everything. All you need to do is to look within yourself.

“You can change yourself, but do not forget your values.”

If you don’t like where you are right now, change it. If you cannot change it, make it better. And if you cannot make it better, leave. But before you do that, you must know why you are living where you are. And when you leave to a new place, do not forget your values. Let your values guide your decisions. And to catch your fish, you must stay away from people who don’t want you to leave where you are. Because you won’t grow if you stay with them. They are okay with what they are doing, but you are not.

You can change yourself, but do not forget your values.
