Can you tell who is really happy? That's the question posed by this enlightening article on Oprah.com.
According to the article, a key factor in a person's happiness is their outlook and attitude about life in general.
I've always considered myself a pessimist, but the older I get, the more optimistic I become. When a door closes, I see open windows. When a friend announces she's getting divorced, or I hear about someone who just got laid off, I think...that sucks, but wow...exciting opportunities lie ahead! Sure, there's some muck to slog through first, but...a chance at that butterflies-in-your-stomach, first-date, making-out love again?...a chance to switch careers and try something all new?...that's pretty exciting stuff.

I'm guessing you watch Oprah?
I used to be a crazy Oprah fan, but I've weened myself from the television, and don't catch it as often as I like... Anyway, last year there were a few episodes on the book (and DVD) The Secret... Incredible book! It talks about the negative thoughts and the positive thoughts and how our energy works with the laws of the Universe... Anyway, I don't want to bore you with details or give it all away if you haven't seen it... But I have the DVD (one of my teachers currently is borrowing it) but if you haven't seen it... and you want to see it when I get it back, you can borrow it because I think its something that you'd agree with and it changed my outlook on a lot of things and it's incredible how much happier a change of an outlook can make me... Yeah, ok enough of my mini rambling-ness!
To anyone out there reading this... Find the book or DVD called THE SECRET (featured on Oprah last year) and watch/read it... it's incredible!
PEACE!
