Today, I want you to do a little experiment.
I want you to take note of those people around you who are happy.
What are they like? How do they live? What are their attitudes like? How about their energy? What can you learn from them? In my life I've seen about a handful of people who I can consider to be a happy person.
Not just an individual who keeps a plastic smile but rather a person who had the energy, attitude and actions of a happy person.
These people actually made you happier, just by being around them.
Everyone of these people them had a demeanor and attitude that set them apart from other people.
They consciously decided that they would be positive regardless of the circumstance.
There was a janitor at my old college who always appeared happy to me and his actions, words and energy would always reflect his positive attitude.
One day when in my 2nd year, I asked him, just how he became so positive and he told me that every person has two choices, they can either choose to respond positively to a situation or they can respond negatively to a situation.
I always remembered his response.
The truth is, that there is no other way to be happy forever.
If you really on the perfect situation, or the perfect situation in order to be happy, then you will be at the whim of luck, fortune or happenstance.
This is just like a tree that sits there and takes the rain one day, next day sun, next day hail and the following day snow.
Would you not want it always to be sunny in your life? That sounds great to me.
