Happiness is Something You Create | Create Your Own Happiness

Who do you think would be happier: someone who won the lottery or someone who lost both their legs? This is the question Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert asked. You might think the answer is obvious, but research actually shows that after a year, both people will be as happy as they were before the event.
This suggests that major events or traumas have little to no effect on our present happiness. Happiness is something we determine ourselves - it’s a state of being.
We assume that happiness is determined by outside influences, but it’s actually something we make internally.
This is why changing your attitude about the world is so powerful. When you view the world as a fundamentally friendly place, you’ll start to see others as potential friends and partners rather than adversaries.
When you’ve adjusted your attitude, you can start viewing your environment in a healthier way. You’ll naturally want to connect with others in more positive ways.
This is from a beautiful book called “Getting to yes with yourself” by William Ury
