Happiness lies within you

When encountering a situation when you just want control of another, let go because you can’t take charge of other people’s minds. You can only take charge of your own mind and how it creates and reacts. When you make a genuine effort to change ‘how’ you react in a situation that keeps coming back in your life that is when a change will occur. It isn’t up to someone else to give you the life you want. It is up to you.

I’m sitting here with my coffee and a half of a bagel with cream cheese enjoying the rain out my window. I have a beautiful white lilac blooming right in my eyesight line. When it is a little drier I open doors and smell the beautiful aroma of the lilac bush. It reminds me of ‘heaven.’ Lilacs have such an otherworldly smell.

You see, if you are searching for happiness in something (relationship, career, friendship, a new house) the best way for it to come quicker and stay is to be happy without it first. And you see, happiness lies within you, not in what is around you that you can touch and see physically.
