You control your thoughts. That means you... - Deepstash

You control your thoughts. That means you decide what you do with your life. If you're unsatisfied, angry, or frustrated, that's all you.

I always thought: "I can never be happy. I need to be rich, own a fancy car, and buy a big house."

But I was thinking all wrong. You can be happy with your current life. All it takes is a decision. And when it improves, you'll still be happy.

When you create something (doesn't matter what it is), you're actively doing something. You either solve a problem or entertain people.
