You are not responsible for anybody elses life or happiness, don't ever feel guilty for being happy! ‪

About This Quote

The most important thing in the world is not where you start from, but where you end up. You can choose to be happy or unhappy with your life. The most important thing is how you feel about your life. Feelings are not based on facts and they are not based on what has happened to you in life.

You can choose to be happy or unhappy with your life, but you cannot control the happiness of another person. If someone is happy, they will make themselves happy and if they feel unhappy, they will make themselves unhappy. But the only one who can make another person feel happy or unhappy is that person.

People may say that our happiness depends on what others think of us, that we should do what makes other people happy, but it's impossible! We cannot make anybody else happy and we cannot force them to be happy either. We have no right to force anyone to be happy! So don't ever feel guilty for being happy and don't ever allow other people's happiness determine yours!
