If I could offer you just one life-changing concept about happiness, it would be this . . .
Your thoughts determine your reality.
Now maybe this idea of having happy thoughts about life seems overly simple and self-evident.
But to really embrace the concept, for it to grow roots in your consciousness, and for you to use it as a manifesto for a happy life — now that's a gift.
It has taken me years, maybe my entire life, to see how powerful happy thinking is and to put it into action on a daily basis.
It's not easy. It requires that you take full responsibility for the quality of your life.
It also requires a daily, even hourly, wrestling match with your own negative mind.
