More people need to stop worrying about the Bad more than the Good. Yes, aweful things happen. Yes, it's immpossible to get over sometimes, but 'slapping around in your own mud puddle' and complaining all of the time will get you nowhere. It's hard to see the good, but if you look for it, you will find it, and you will be a happier person. 40% of your unhappiness is due to bad happenings in your life, and 60% is because of your unwillingness to get over the bad happenings in your life. You may have many losses, but what about what you've gained? There are people out there who had so little, who where violated of any happinesss they could posses, but what got them by was something so simple, and so forgranted. Something like a dream. Their happiness lay in the dream that one day they would make themselves happy. That one day they would achieve happiness. And they worked for it. And any little once of something good they recieved, it was considered a heaven sent gift. They search out the good, and they found small things that get them by. And over time, the small things became large things.
Other people, who have been violated of their happiness, people who don't look for good, people who never forget the bad, who hold it with them no matter what, who can't look past it; Those people almost never get anywhere. They only see the bad, they mourn and they mope, and they wait for something good to happen to them. They sit in their own sorrow, and place blame everywhere else, and they grow up to be pitiful. They only get back the effort they put in. And they live a sad existence for the rest of their life, until they die. It's horrible.
You have to LOOK for happiness, and looking takes WORK. I.E. You have to work for happiness. Don't assume that because you can't think of one good thing in your life at the moment, that it isn't there. You just aren't looking hard enough. You aren't trying hard enough. Just air in your lungs, a goal in your heart, food on your plate, sunlight on your face, grass between your toes, a nice bed to rest your body, any small thing could be your happiness. Then you take that happiness, and you add on to it until there are pletny little things to induce happiness. When you are at your roughest moment, grieve as much as you want, but what seperates you from others is if in your grief, you take a single minute to stop thinking about how awefull life is and look at what makes Life worth living. Because the happiest people are those who can appreciate the little things.
