Happiness for me comes from lowering my expectations, or from having none at all. It is when we expect happiness to come from those around us that we make ourselves miserable.

Only you know what makes you happy. Seek it out.

There's no such thing as a life without worries, stress, or fear. Not on this plane of existence at least. You have to learn to accept the way things are. You don't have to like the way things are, but you have to accept that that's just the way it is.
