- Aesop
About this Quote
This quote by Aesop is a tip that our joy is mainly dependent on our mindset and outlook. It recommends that if we are discontent in one location, it is unlikely that we will find satisfaction in another. This is because our dissatisfaction is most likely to follow us anywhere we go, and it is our own mindset that requires to alter in order to find real happiness. It is essential to keep in mind that our happiness is not based on our situations, but rather on our own outlook and attitude. If we can find out to be content with what we have, and to value the great in our lives, then we can find true happiness no matter where we are.
