It’s tempting to shift responsibility for our happiness and fulfillment onto someone else and, when things don’t go as planned, blame them. Not only does this not work, it robs us of our power and agency. No one else can create or prevent our happiness. We are uniquely responsible for our own emotional and mental state, since it’s our story about the world that creates it. Assuming full responsibility for our happiness, changes everything. When we’re committed to honest self-investigation, we position ourselves to experience…
Self-actualized joy.
