Only Depend On Yourself To Make You Happy

True happiness can only come from you, nobody else.

Only Depend On Yourself To Make You Happy

Often times we depend too much on others to make ourselves happy, and in the end, we are the ones who get hurt. In doing so, it usually makes us question our self-worth. After this happens, we pick ourselves up, or at least try too, with the help of our friends and family, only to depend on others and get hurt again. Until you can make yourself happy without depending on others, this cycle will be one that never stops.

Loving yourself and being happy is not an easy thing to do. Most of my life I have depended on others to make me happy. And at times, this is okay and we need to, but it is not something we should constantly be doing. You need to realize that making your own happiness can be a process and it's something you are always working towards, but it isn't something you should give up on.

Happiness isn't just a feeling, it's a lifestyle. To be happy, think positive thoughts, live without people who live without you, and be proud of who you are becoming. If you're constantly living in a negative mind, it's almost impossible to live a positive life. Living a life of happiness isn't easy, but it is doable and you don't have to rely on anyone else to give it to you. You should be the one to count on to make yourself happy.

Be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. If you have a hard time getting up in the morning, be proud of yourself on the days that you do.Taking baby steps is better than taking no steps at all. Progress takes time, you won't just feel relief and happiness in every accomplishment, but every little thing helps.

Always remember that it is okay to be human. People will be rude, break your heart, and make you upset. It's okay to show anger or sadness. You should accept the fact that you won't always be happy, and it is okay to be sad sometimes. Feeling emotions is part of being human. If you never experience sadness, you'll never truly know what happiness is.

Always strive for happiness in your everyday life. You are the one who controls your emotions, nobody else does - remember that. Happiness is a feeling, a lifestyle, and something to always work towards. However, it is up to you to pursue it. True happiness can only come from yourself, nobody else.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
