The Foolish Man Seeks Happiness in the Distance, the Wise Grows It Under His Feet
Wise Words from James Oppenheim That Point Out The Importance of Self-Belief & Self-Reliance
This quote for me defines what can be achieved through self-belief.
When we believe that we are responsible for our actions, our progress and our luck, we are destined to progress, not immediately but definitely, if we continue.
When we blame others for our condition, we lose the chance to evolve into a better version of ourselves.
Expectations are not fruitful.
Like Gary Vee says: Entitlement is the Poison.
The worst thing that can happen to halt us from the path of progress, is a sense of Entitlement.
When we believe that we are more deserving than others or we are privileged enough to gain something by default, our effort o achieve it stops.
Worse is that when we fail to achieve something, our entitlement stops us from accepting responsibilities. We delegate our failures to others and fail to learn from our mistakes. So never ever germinate the feeling of Entitlement inside your mind.
Happiness is not the outcome generated by external variables, it is the internal acceptance of external happenings.

True Happiness Lies Within
In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment, and inner contentment doesn’t come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.
If you are looking for a reason to be happy, don’t look outside, look within you will find multiple reasons to be content & joyous. These steps will be helpful in making happiness a habit.
“Look within. Within is the fountain o f good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.” — Marcus Aurelius
Remember, it all comes down to a conscious choice. Practice until it becomes a habit.
