About This Quote

Epictetus, a Greek philosopher, said, “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” You can have the most beautiful things in this world, but if you cannot find peace within yourself, all your possessions will not sustain you. It is also said that what you think about during the day determines how you feel at night. If you are constantly thinking about problems or other people, then you are holding yourself back from being the happiest person on the planet. Your thoughts are very powerful. Make sure to guard them carefully so that they are always positive and uplifting.
