Happiness - an attitude?

Hi Ladies,

There are a lot of things that makes one happy - stability, money, family, success etc. one would argue. Recently I have been told that happiness is actually an attitude. Your own happiness depends entirely on you. This was very interesting for me & I thought I should share it with you.

I think the fact that we are more in touch with our emotions as women, we would find this concept very difficult. This does not mean there will not be any occurrence resulting in you being unhappy. However, in the event that you experience sadness, disappointment, failure, loss & all that is associated with unhappiness - you choose to be HAPPY!

This is a process that I personally would like to adopt. It will surely require a little bit of selfishness, which is one of the things that most women struggle with - to be selfish. Authentically we were not created to be selfish but obedient; but we were not created to be sad, hurt or unhappy either.
