Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don't take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try.

You are in charge of your own happiness; you don't need to wait for other people's permission to be happy.

If you take your happiness and put it in someone’s hands, sooner or later, she is going to break it. If you give your happiness to someone else, she can always take it away. Then if happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love, you are responsible for your happiness.

Do not let other people's definition of success and happiness dictate your choices.

Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose.

Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

Self-responsibility. You hold yourself accountable for your own happiness. You understand the phrase “it may not be your fault, but it is still your problem.

You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.

Never blame another person for your personal choices – you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

Don't spend you life making other people happy. Other people being happy is their problem.

You are concerned with your own happiness and I am telling you that there is no such thing. Happiness is never your own, it is where the ‘I’ is not.

Know your own happiness.

It is impossible to build one’s own happiness on the unhappiness of others.

Never trouble another for what you can do yourself
