About This Quote

The very first step to being happy is controlling your emotions. Being ruled by your emotions will lead you to a life of unhappiness. If you are unhappy, you will not want to do anything, and if you are not doing anything, you will not be able to affect the world in any positive way. Serving others is how you change the world for the better.
