Disney parks all over the world are known as the happiest places on earth. And judging by the number of people who flock there each year, it is correct. It’s known as a place full of fun, magic, and wonder.

But even Walt Disney himself knew that it was dangerous to contain happiness to a particular location. He said, “Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things. So I think happiness is contentment but it doesn’t mean you have to have wealth. All individuals are different and some of us just wouldn’t be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job and being happy.”

The most powerful happiness is created in your mind. Remember that you are creating your own happy place. The happiest place on earth can be wherever you are. Through your writing and creative work, you are creating your own reality. And you can invite others there to enjoy it too.

Happiness is not some distant time or place in the future. It’s right now, and you can create it. It’s not in the future somewhere when you publish the next book, get the deal, or reach some other goal. Happiness has to lie in the work you do each day.

Happiness can be created right here, right now. All you have to do is change your mindset.
