Happiness starts with you – not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you. A person should so live that their happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things. If you learn to control your emotion and thoughts, you will find true happiness within you. If you want to be cheerful and happy, act that way and you will soon find yourself becoming that way.
