'Happiness is like a butterfly:
the more you chase it, the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder ~ Thoreau'
Happiness is a choice. If you think some things have to change first in order for you to be happy, you are dead wrong. Changes will come and you will still think the same. It's a habit that you will always look for some things that need to be changed for you to be happy. You will never find happiness. I say, start your happiness now and things will change.
We don't have to change anything to happy. In fact, we can give up somethings, here it goes:
- Give up caring what other people think of you.
- Give up trying to please everyone.
- Give up participating in gossip.
- Quit worrying.
- Let go of insecurity.
- Stop taking everything personally.
- Give up the past.
- Give up spending money on what you don’t need in effort to buy happiness.
- Give up anger.
- Give up control.
