Secrets of Happy People - Positiveness


I believe that we have all experienced the feeling of happiness at some time during our lives. For some, it may be a feeling that they experience often. For others, feelings of happiness are few and far between. One thing is for certain, we all desire happiness. Money, work, relationships, in fact everything that we do is geared towards attaining a state of happiness in our lives.

Who you are and what you are passionate about, your life experiences and your expectations all play their part in determining the level of happiness in your life. Some people need a sense of success in their professional lives whereas for others, a good personal life matters more than anything else. Regardless of what brings you the greatest happiness, you need to recognize that you are in charge of your own happiness. You decide how you choose to define happiness and the conditions for you to experience it.

Positiveness

Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a 'realist'? Most pessimists or 'realists' have developed a negative perspective because of past disappointments. They rationalize that if you don't expect much, then if something good happens you're pleasantly surprised, and if something bad happens then it's as you expected anyway.

This sounds sensible, but the reality is that if you have a positive point of view you give yourself more options. Rather than focusing on the problem, you give yourself the option of finding a solution. Rather than focusing on what's bad about the situation, you give yourself the option of seeing the good that is in it. Rather than focusing on how the event hurts you, you give yourself the option of learning and benefiting from the event.

Considering that most people who are miserable and going nowhere with their lives are pessimists, and most people who are happy and successful are optimists, which would you rather be?
