Everyone always looks to other people to seek happiness, whether in the form of a friendship or a relationship. They need to start to realize that the only happiness that matters is their own, and they are capable of doing it themselves.

A lot of girls don’t realize that allowing someone else make them happy will only keep them happy for a short amount of time. The minute that person leaves their life, they are on their own again.

Happiness needs to come from within, not another person. College taught me that being happy on my own was way more important than being sad and depending on everyone else for my happiness.

No matter how many friends you have, the only person you can truly trust is yourself. You have your best friends and your family, but you cannot create their actions. You can only control yourself.

You should always be your own number one. No one can tell you how the feeling of being truly happy feels; you have to feel it for yourself.

You can never truly be happy with someone until you give yourself happiness. The honeymoon stage wears off, and when that happens, you will realize that it is not at that point in life that you know that you’re truly happy. If you’re only with someone because they make you happy for a short amount of time, then it's going to hit you that you’re not anymore, and it will be a rude awakening.

Every girl needs to learn to treat herself. If that one pair of pumps or that little black dress makes you feel good, buy it.

Confidence is key. Being confident in your own skin is a key to being happy and keeping yourself happy. Until you can accept yourself in your skin, no one else will believe it.

Lastly, every girl's key accessory should be her smile. It’s a girl's best curve. Seeing someone smile with that natural “I love life" smile makes me so happy because I know that they truly love life.

Every girl needs to realize that life is all about making yourself happy and putting yourself first.
