We must find within us a happiness with ourselves which no one else can disturb. Otherwise we give them power over us.

About This Quote

If we are not happy with ourselves, then we give others the power to make us unhappy. It is possible to hurt someone else if their happiness depends on something you can’t do. If you really think about it, it’s unfortunate. We all want to be happy, but sometimes we fail to take care of ourselves first. If you want to be a successful person, it is your duty to make being happy a priority in your life.
