I'm reading the book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Canegie. And there is a passage:
“Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.”
(Excerpt From: Carnegie, Dale. “How To Win Friends & Influence People.")
I think there is truth to that. Of course, outside conditions do make a difference but enjoying the small simple things in life can bring happiness too. Like a walk in the park, a delicious sandwich, a cool breeze in the afternoon, etc....
So yeah, maybe happiness can be found inside even if you're not good at anything and never achieved anything impressive in life. You might just a so and so average ugly Joe but I think it's still possible to discover incredible joy even if no one else around you cares.
