Are You Emotionally Dependent?

A Little Monday Motivation.

A lot of us look for happiness from others, but this is not a reliable source of happiness.

People will come and go in your life, or they’ll be emotionally unavailable due to their own personal reasons.

That's just how it is.

Happiness isn’t the job of your spouse, friends, or family. It’s available right inside us, right now, all the time.

Only you can control your happiness--If you let others control how happy you are, your just setting yourself up for some hurt.

Bottom line: Our happiness is something that we need to work on without allowing other people’s action to affect it or to have a negative impact on it.


Make a point of living a happy life without letting other people’s action influence the way you are trying to live yours.
