In the end, we know what makes us happy. We also know what makes us unhappy. That's the irony. We know and yet we still mess it up. That's part of the human condition, no, and why we need to work on it.

We all have experiences in our lives that change us, and we all learn from people, like my dad, but at the end of the day, it's only us. And we're only responsible to make ourselves happy.
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
I understand that we cannot make other people happy when they are unhappy.
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.

Happiness is just a positive perception from our brain. Some days, you will be unhappy. Our brain is a tool we use. It's not who we are.
People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
