OWN YOUR HAPPINESS

Would you describe yourself as a happy person or an unhappy person? If you think of yourself as a happy person, what do you think contributes the most your happiness? If you think of yourself as an unhappy person, what do you think contributes the most to your unhappiness? If you answered the question about the biggest contributor to your happiness with anything other than YOURSELF, I must disagree with you. Your state of mind, your self-esteem, and especially your self-image, have far more to do with your emotional state than possessions, people or places. Think about it, if you get the guy or girl of your dreams, or you get that amazing home or car you saved up for, do those things make you happy in a direct way? They don’t. What happens is your emotional state is enhanced or lowered by people you are with or things you are given or acquire. The strongest feelings you have are the feelings about yourself. You must feel good about you to truly feel good about life. Until you genuinely like, love, and accept yourself, no person, place, thing, situation, or condition will permanently change you so that you can enjoy life to the fullest. Only you can own your happiness.
