"The more I understand the mind and the human experience, the more I begin to suspect there is no such thing as unhappiness; there is only ungratefulness." Steve Maraboli - Motivational Speaker /Author
How much unhappiness do you experience? Could the mind default to a state of sadness when the human experience presents us with an outcome that we do not like or with which we are uncomfortable? If it's a dangerous or unhealthy situation, then we might want to remove ourselves from it, if possible. Otherwise change the scenery and backdrop of your mind. Begin to view each and every person, thing, moment, or experience that you have in a new light. Look for blessings daily, count them, list them one by one. Consider getting a notebook, title it your "Gratitude Journal." Write down your blessings daily and describe why you consider something a blessing. You just may realize how much God loves you and how really happy that makes you.
Disappointments are inevitable, but misery is optional. No matter what kind of setback you face, no matter who does you wrong, don’t go around with a defeated mindset, in self-pity. Redeem the time and know that every setback is a setup for a greater comeback.
