Happiness from withinn

Happiness is not an emotion. Happiness is a state. It doesn't depend on external circumstances, it depends on how you react to those circumstances. Happiness is an outcome of how we relate to the emotional experiences we are having in life.
Instead of resisting external situations which are out of our control, we should invite them and accept them as part of our learning experience.
When we place responsibilty in anything that is not us there's nothing we can do to change it. We can't control things outside us. However, we can choose how to respond to the outside world. The good news is that we can choose what to think! We can definitely choose love based thoughts to feel authentically good.
This is not knowledge we are born with, it is totally learnt behaviuor. Unfortunately, nobody tought us at school how to be emotionally stable or how to respond to difficult situations in life. However, it is never too late to start learning about yourself and the healer we have within.
