MY HAPPINESS IS IN MY OWN HANDS

We all like to receive a compliment here and there because it can have a positive impact on us, but that doesn't mean that we should solely rely on someone else's words to bring us up from feeling down. With or without the chosen compliment spoken we should always be happy with what we have in our life in order to be respectful to those who are less fortunate than we are. To those of you who refuse to acknowledge that you are lucky to have the lifestyle that you lead and fortunate enough to have opportunities that enable you better yourself then maybe you should go without the things that you seem to take for granted and see how difficult life can really be. When you do get complimented it is merely a bonus that should only add to your own self motivated positive energy and not be the be all and end all of your life. If we give others the power to bring us up then they also have the power to bring us down, that it is why it is best that your happiness is in your own hands alone. We also should never let the people that don't have the power to inflate us to deflate us at their whim because they are not deserving of the privilege to have an affect on the positive people of the world, they should remain isolated where their negative attitudes and doubt can not affect others.
