"Perseverance towards problem-solving versus complaining over circumstances is a symptom of a happy person. Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the "look what happened to me" attitude versus finding a way through and out the other side."...
"I won't argue that healthy discernment is important, but most happy people are trusting of their fellow man. They believe in the good in people, versus assuming everyone is out to get them. Generally open and friendly towards people they meet, happy people foster a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with an open heart."
...
"There's a difference between control and striving to achieve our goals. Happy people take steps daily to achieve their goals, but realize in the end, there's very little control over what life throws their way."
...
"Happy people live in the now and dream about the future. You can feel their positive vibe from across the room. They're excited about something they're working on, grateful for what they have and dreaming about the possibilities of life."
... these sentiments are excerpted from 7 Habits of Chronically Unhappy People by Tamara Star
Enjoyed that post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle.
DeleteInteresting post. Our daughter tends to stay in the same place all the time. I'm a bit of a dreamer but I'm not sure I live in the now!
ReplyDeleteI found the article to be quite thought provoking Debby.
