The Key to Happiness

Today’s inspirational quote

Today I came across this quote that really spoke to me:

Not having the best situation, but seeing the best in your situation is the key to happiness — Marie Forleo

It reminded me that making my happiness dependent on my external circumstances often means I am miserable. I get attached to a particular outcome, and when things don’t go as planned, I am dissatisfied.

This past year has taught me that I can’t control many things that happen to me. Learning to focus on the good stuff is even more important during challenging times. When I try hard enough, I can usually identify some positive moments in even the worst day. Doing so doesn’t magically fix everything, but it does help me feel better.
