Another very popular teaching and life lesson given by Gaur Gopal Das is that being happy, and choosing happiness is a choice.
The thing is, everybody wishes to be happy, and everyone is trying their best to achieve things in order to be happy. But, for some, the achievement and happiness have started to depend on external factors. Receiving validation from a senior colleague, a compliment from a partner, appreciation by the parents, etc. If your happiness is dependent on an external player, it will be fleeting and you will not be able to feel complete.
So, choose yourself, make your own happiness, and remember that being happy is your own choice.
