I’m going to try out this exercise. The only reason that I am even remotely happy with my current existance is because I’m trying really hard to be. I think that happiness is achieved when you learn to find the positive in every day life. We are conditioned to always want more than what we have, so if we make our happiness conditional, we will never achieve it.

I know I’m happy because I’m content with what I have. Sure things could always be better, and when they are it’s like a bonus.

When things it get worse, I remain happy as well. Because I’ll never have it as bad as others.

Love the radiology scan. This would offer an enigma to anyone unprepared to embark on a journey deeper within. After all, happiness is found within, not without. You may be intrigued to explore the happiness project blog:

“Conversely are you really happy if you work in a soul destroying job, hating the 8 hours of every day for 10 years so you can own that comfortable home only when you retire?”

That really struck a chord with me. I spend the majority of my time doing things I don’t want to do, I guess every now and then I need to figure out what I want to do and what’s best for me. Those steps you gave sound like a good start to doing that.
