You are the engine of your own happiness.
Not your earthly possessions.
Not your external environment.
Not your education.
Not your bank account.
Not your relationships.
You.
This isn’t a matter of opinion. Science backs it up.
Your earthly possessions might give you something you can show to others and they can enable you to live a luxurious life.
But, if you are not happy, you cannot enjoy any of it.
You cannot “Buy” happiness from your external environment.
You cannot look for it in your relationships.
Your education will give you knowledge, but not give you a forever kind of happiness.
You can take money from your account and buy things that you think might make you happy all the time.
But that is not a guarantee.
Having some wealth will make you happier. But it will never give you true happiness.
You can ask Google ‘How can I become happy?’ and it will give you a list of answers on its first page, but it won’t answer the deepest questions in your heart. It won’t give you your own happiness.
True happiness comes only from one place on earth.
And that is you.
“Happiness is an inside job. Don’t assign anyone else that much power over your life.” Mandy Hale
