Food for thought...Happiness is a State of Mind
 

~~~~I will be adding some food for thought from time to time for those who like a little introspection and positive affirmation. Let me know if it helps your mindsets~~~~

Happiness is a State of Mind

Generally speaking, the unhappiest people you will ever meet will be those who are utterly self-absorbed; the happiest people you will ever meet will be those who lose themselves in the joy and challenge of helping others.

Happiness is always attained by giving it away without expectation. Those who help others are eventually helped. You have two hands, one to help yourself and the other to help those around you.

Happiness is only available with total acceptance of who you are,
including all your fears, worries, and anxiety. It will be there for you
when you can see your own inner beauty. You cannot achieve happiness
without using your past, your flaws, insecurities, and imperfections in a
positive way. It is about letting go and detaching from unhealthy people,
ideas, and lifestyle choices, and replacing them with interdependent,
pro-active ways of thinking and responding.

I definitely agree that the way I see things and react to situation is a major influence on my happiness - I can't agree it's the whole picture...there will always be external factors too - but it's a major component :)

thanks BD :)
