Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
–Charles Swindoll
I completely agree with your post. Some people think that happiness is only dependent on our environment and the big milestones that lay ahead.
It's stupid to wait for happiness. With the right attitude we can feel happiness every day. All we need to learn is to have the right perception and to appreciate our life and all the possibilities that lay ahead of us every new unique day of our lives.
