Ever wondered how when we start feeling happy, all seems to be good, and challenges appear solvable?
In contrast, when everything appears wrong or unsatisfactory, we often find we did not start the day well. Go back to your initial thoughts, what you exposed yourself to in reading and your initial encounters. Were those positive, cheerful, and uplifting?
It is our view of our work, the people we engage with, our relationships, and even our situation, all of which we have significant control over.
Hopefully, it was just today that you woke up feeling down, for no good reason, and by 7 am, all seems to be spiraling down into some bottomless abyss.
If we cannot find the good in the day, people, and most situations, how is it possible we will be happy? So, at some point, we need to ask ourselves what element of your content, or discontent, is about external factors compared to those we create within? We need to start at a happy state – as defined by you – if we seek to lead a happy life. And yes, we owe it to ourselves.
