This an amazing quote if you really sit down and think about it. First of all if you don't know who C.S. Lewis is, well he is a writer, an amazing one at that. We as people let other things depend on our happiness. If I have a baby then I will be happy. If I just could get a boyfriend then I would be happy. If I could move out of this town then I could be happy. If I had more friends then I could be happy. If I was prettier, skinnier, and didn't care as much then I would be happy. Well guess what, you are the only person or thing that can make you happy. Happiness comes from within. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that on the inside there isn't anything there but darkness. But, you know what your wrong. On the inside is a beautiful soul. A soul that just needs to find out who they are. We all waste time on things we think are going to make us happy. Here is the big secret to happiness. Shhhhhh don't tell anyone okay. You have to love yourself. If you don't love yourself then you will not be able to find happiness. If you don't love yourself then you need to sit down and think about the reasons you don't love yourself. You know what you could do is focus on what you need to change. Maybe that means you need to be single for awhile. Or maybe that means you cut yourself off from friends that bring you down. Or maybe you surround yourself with friends that are going to take care of you and treat you like you should be treated. So take a moment and ask yourself this question: do you love yourself?
Just wanted to add a few things. Just so you know I haven't always loved myself. It actually took me a very long time to love myself. You know I may not be the prettiest, the skinniest, and sure as heck not the quietest but, I am happy with my life, where I am, and I love me!!!!!!
