Take responsibility for your own happiness from "summary" of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

It is important to understand that our happiness is not dependent on external circumstances or the actions of others. We have the power to choose how we respond to the challenges and difficulties that life may present us with. By taking responsibility for our own happiness, we are able to cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment that is not easily swayed by the ups and downs of life. We must realize that no one else can make us happy or unhappy - it is ultimately up to us to find contentment within ourselves. This means acknowledging our own thoughts and emotions, and not allowing external factors to dictate our state of mind. By practicing self-awareness and mindfulness, we are able to navigate the complexities of life with a sense of calm and equanimity. It is also important to remember that happiness is not a destination to be reached, but rather a journey to be embraced. We must be willing to put in the effort to cultivate positive habits and attitudes that contribute to our overall well-being. This may involve letting go of negative thoughts and beliefs, practicing gratitude, and engaging in activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.
  1. Taking responsibility for our own happiness requires a willingness to look within ourselves for the answers we seek. By cultivating a sense of self-reliance and inner strength, we are able to weather the storms of life with grace and resilience. In doing so, we empower ourselves to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.
