Be Your Own Happiness | Trent Shelton

About this video

Shelton teaches that while people need connection, they should not depend on others for happiness or self-worth. He argues that allowing external circumstances and others’ treatment to control one’s emotions gives away personal power. Shelton encourages viewers to take responsibility for their own happiness, leave behind yesterday’s pain, and make a conscious choice to move forward by burning bridges to destructive patterns.
