Quote of the Week
“I cannot make you happy, but I can commit to support you in the creation of your own happiness.”
- Yung Pueblo
I Can't Make You Happy
I would love it if someone else (or even a magic fairy!) could make me happy. But, reality check, only I can do that for myself. Yes, someone can love me, cherish me, support me and be fun to be with. All of those things will create an environment in which I am much more likely to be happy. But that is not the same thing as that other person making me happy.
For, all of those things might be in place and I might still feel depressed, or sad that I missed out on something else, or hyperfocused on something other than that wonderful, supportive environment – perhaps not even noticing the support I’m given.
Happiness comes from within yourself. From loving and respecting yourself…and knowing your own sense of purpose.
If you are unhappy, I encourage you to take a hard look. Are you waiting for someone else to change things for you?
