Best Advice for Finding Happiness

 

“Taking the time to think about what will make you happy.”

 

“Get away from people trying to tell you what you need to do.”

 

“Following through is not that difficult, it’s just getting to a spot where you realize that other people’s opinions of your life aren’t the way that you should be living your life.”
