About This Quote

If you are unhappy, it often is because of your own actions. You believe that the world should be the way you want it to be, but in reality, it doesn’t work like that at all. There are millions of things that you want for your life that you can’t get. The only reason why you don’t get them is because you keep trying to take things for yourself instead of giving them away.
