It's a simple working formula: if who you are and what you have- in your relationships, at home, or on the job- are what you want, that's perfect; keep doing what you've been doing and you'll get more of it. However, if who you are and what you have is less than or different than what you want, you'll have to make some basic changes. Chris Prentiss
About This Quote

It is a common human trait to want what we can't have. I am not saying that you should go out and try to buy the perfect dream house, but instead think about what you need in order to be happy. I know for some people this process is hard- they don't know how to start and they think that happiness is just an illusion. This quote is about how you should start thinking about happiness and then actually making the changes that will help you achieve it. Happiness is not an illusion, it's something that can be achieved and we just need to start working towards it.
