When your sense of self and happiness comes from within and isn't a roller coaster ride dependent on others or circumstances, you approach life differently. You make better choices. You draw to you the people and situations that matter. The others, they fall away.

About This Quote

When you feel that your happiness and sense of self is wrapped up within yourself and not contingent on the world around you, you will behave differently than when the things that make you happy and your sense of self are dependent on others. This quote demonstrates how our happiness and sense of self can be dependent on others. We can often get caught up in what other people want or think about us and lose sight of what we truly want for ourselves or who we truly are. A quote such as this one shows how we need to find what we truly want for ourselves, not what we think others want for us.
