You don't have to live in a mansion to be happy. All you need is to create the right space; something that says this is who you are, and you can always change who you are, just as you change your environment.

About This Quote

Your happiness is not dependent on the size of your house. In fact, the bigger the house the more stressful it is for you. The less stressful it is for you to live in a smaller house. If you want to be happy, you must create a space that you feel comfortable in.

You must work hard to make that space a place that is designed just for you and no one else. You don't have to have a mansion to be happy, but you have to have a space that says who you are and who you can be.
