10 Interesting Key Facts About Alcohol, Top AINYF Quote, and Articles of the Week
“You carry the passport to your own happiness.” — Diane Von Furstenberg
Hey AINYF Community,
The quote by the famous Belgium fashion designer is a reminder of how much in control we are of our lives.
So many times, we think that some THING or PERSON will make us happy when we obtain it.
However, what inevitably happens is when we acquire said item, after the initial excitement and novelty of it has worn off, we recognize that we are no happier with it than we were without it.
The reason this is true relates to how much we can’t rely on other people or things to be the reason for our happiness.
Happiness is an inside job, and we have to be happy without anyone else’s involvement if we truly think it will last.
Expecting your happiness to come from others is a precarious strategy that will often, unfortunately, leave you wanting.
Recognizing this and understanding that ONLY YOU can create true happiness in your life is the key.
No one can take something away from you that ONLY YOU own.
