“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of others.....for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”
- Albert Einstein

There are things you can stop doing right now to achieve happiness. First of all: stop blaming. Taking responsibility when things go wrong instead of blaming others isn't masochistic, it's empowering. Secondly, stop impressing. Genuine relationships make you happier, and you'll only form genuine relationships when you stop trying to impress. Another is: stop waiting for your turn to speak. Listen to what people have to say. They'll love you for it--and you'll love how that makes you feel.
