Leadership Self

Happiness is a state of mind that only can be gifted by you. People who look toward others to make them happy are miserable.

It is a path to a dead end: a wasteland of emptiness. Make happiness your choice, not dependent on outside of you. Inside you is the only lasting place happiness can ever live. When you make the transition that happiness emanates from within you, your outside circumstances reflect your inner reality. — Jeffrey Benjamin
