Ain’t none of ya gonna be here one second longer that The Good Lord wants you to be so work hard, take care of your people, pretty much obey the law, and live your lives in a way that makes you happy. If it’s a couple of drinks every night then have at it, just don’t let it affect the important stuff.
“Happiness is a choice. Your circumstances shouldn’t dictate it.”
— Tony Robbins
Both of these statements are true.
You create your own reality. Just like you create your own happiness. Happiness is not a circumstance, happiness is a state of mind.
There are filthy rich folks in mansions that are unhappy and there are folks living in some dump in Mexico City that are happy.
