Don’t let others be the judge of your happiness
“Other people’s heads are too wretched a place for true happiness to have its seat.”

AMEN! Without such emotional freedom, I (we all) die inside.

What a great quote! I never heard/read this one before today. I totally agree with this quote. How dare someone else be the judge of you or your happiness. I believe when we do this we are projection something of our own shadow onto that person. Furthermore, how dare people tell you what to do, think, and feel. They may have your best interest at heart but as my grandfather used to say, “…you can give people advice but cannot tell them what to do.” With that said, keep traveling and writing!
