Most people go through life depending on certain things, people or feelings to create happiness or positivity in their lives. Although this is an easy mistake, changing our mindsets may be one of the most important things we ever do. This is because in the end, we only have ourselves. The things we do in life, our attitude and our outlook, the way we develop and grow, as well as the person we become. All things possible and generated from within.

Self fulfillment and happiness is essential for a positive life. That is why finding happiness from within, setting and achieving our aspirations, and focusing on ourselves is crucial for success. The true and most genuine type of happiness can take a strenuous amount of work, especially when things don't go as planned, or life gets hard, however, when we coach ourselves that we are most important, and do not need anybody or anything to make us happy, we have officially changed our ways. It is easy to let certain people or circumstances get us down or affect our attitudes, but if we are strong enough to make ourselves realize that we are invincible, and nothing can bring us down, then no matter what happens around us, we will not fall victim and be defeated. When we are able to achieve a certain level of gratitude, realization of our blessings, self created positivity and contentment, and no longer crave happiness from people or things outside of ourselves, we are on a path to success.

Appreciation and love for ourselves provides us with many additional traits to prepare us for a better journey. Along with generating self happiness, comes independence, success and bliss that all contribute to a self made, happy and healthy life. To embrace our blessings, opportunities and achievable greatness is essential in our quests to live the best lives we can.

Here are fifteen reasons why it is important to only depend on ourselves for happiness and fulfillment:

1. People let us down

but this will not matter, because we will not let ourselves down

2. Relationships end

but not the relationship we have with ourselves

3. Not everything works out how we want

but we will find the good in every situation

4. Life is not fair

but our attitudes will adjust

5. Things happen

but we remain hopeful

6. Life is full of ups and downs

but we work at continuous optimism

7. We will fall down

but also the first to pick ourselves up

8. Bonds will break

but not the most important one

9. The going gets tough

but we get tougher

10. Circumstances may hurt

but we are bullet proof

11. People doubt

but we prove them wrong

12. We have one life

but if we do it right, once is enough

13. Breakups happen

but we didn't depend on them in the first place

14. People come and go

but we were happy with out them, and will be happy with out them again

15. Situations try to bring us down

but we are bigger than the situation

In the end, our happiness lands on our shoulders. We are our biggest cheerleaders, and it is our responsibility to fulfill a self created happy life.
