Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not".
Happiness in life comes from the inside. It does us little good to sit back and wait for it to come from outside sources. This is an important lesson I'm learning everyday.
I remember reading in Richard & Kristine Carlson's book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love this very interesting piece of advice:
Many popular songs on the radio carry the message "You make me happy, I would be lost without you; you are my world". This way of thinking takes away all the responsibility to make yourself happy and gives it to someone else. That is an enormous amount of pressure to put on another person.
