Happiness is an inside job. It's an attitude more than a state of events. Happiness means practicing gratitude. It means realizing the only person we are ever capable of changing is ourself. We don't have to change anyone else because we shouldn't put our happiness in someone else's hands. Tighten your circle and walk away from people and places which are holding you back. You will feel lighter and more joyful immediately. Practice positive thinking and set a firm intention to remain happy each morning. And the only people we should ever try to "get even" with are those who have helped us. When our thoughts change for the better, our lives change for the better.
