Your own happiness

(Liberty Times)

"You always expect someone else to give you something.

Maybe it's a praise, maybe it's a gift, maybe it's a smile, maybe it's a relationship.

Ultimately, you always expect to get self assurance from something someone gives you.

When you don't get it, you're moody and unhappy; after you get it, you feel like something is missing.

Darling, you know something? No matter whether you get it or don't get it, expecting something from someone will definitely give you suffering, because that is giving away your right to happiness.

What someone can give you, someone can also take back.

So, other than yourself, who is your source of happiness?

So, darling, don't expect to get anything from another person.

When you don't expect others to make you happy, you can get real happiness."
