Takeaway: Many avoid taking responsibility over their own happiness, and for just this reason they will never find it.
Consider this powerful quote from author Brianna West:
Nobody wants to believe happiness is a choice, because that puts responsibility in their hands. It’s the same reason people self-pity: to delay action, to make an outcry to the universe, as though the more they state how bad things are, the more likely it is that someone else will change them.
Your happiness is in your hands. No one else will provide it. No one will come along and change your circumstances.
You are the solution.
