“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:
Unhappiness doesn't come from the things happening to us but from the way we think about those things. Imagine you lose your job, which is definitely challenging. If you keep thinking that you're a failure or that everything is hopeless, you'll feel very unhappy. But if you think of it as an opportunity to find something better or learn new skills, you'll feel better and more hopeful. Many people have turned tough times into moments of growth by changing their perspective. So, if you want to feel happier, try changing the way you think about your problems. Instead of focusing on the negatives, look for any positives or lessons you can learn.
