Negative thoughts are self-inflicted.

You’re the one creating them. Not your environment. Not the people around you.

When things are not in your favor, do you complain?

Do you blame others? Say something stupid?

Or do you shut your mouth, take a deep breath, learn from it, and move on?

You can’t control everything.

But you can control your reaction.

You can pause. You can switch perspectives. You can leave the situation, or change it or accept it.

Your happiness shouldn’t depend on your circumstances.

Because happiness is always an inside job (try my happiness formula).

Be the light in a world of darkness.

The light. That’s what we all need.
