I have been reading your newsletter for half a year now; but commenting for the first time (practicing to be more vocal about my feelings ”new year resolution”)…. This was a pretty long and well researched article and gave me a totally different perspective of the usual quotes I hear all the time..

Thank you for sharing this is such an interesting post. You are simply brilliant.

Wish you and your loved ones a happy and interesting year ahead.

The post didn't make me happier but it sure made me realize that if there's something I badly want, I need to focus on it and every detail of my life and activities should be centrifugally focused towards achieving it.

They say that you can become happier in many different ways. I don't think that reading a blog post is one of them. However I did learn a lot by reading your post and I do think that knowledge is happiness, or at least for me.

Great article. The idea is to be happy. Who doesn't want to be happy? We live all our lives trying to be happy in whatever way we can. Funny thing is, we wont be even having this discussion if all of us just went ahead and made up our minds on being happy.

"A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be." Abraham Lincoln

"Fifty-plus years of living have taught me that ol' Abe is right about this one"

Thanks for the simple yet wise words…

Very interesting blog Penelope and makes me think a bit of Maslow's concept of autorealization or self fulfillment. However also hard to achieve that happiness and focus when other needs are not fulfilled…

There are many things that make you happy, but everyone's different & unique. I try to concentrate on things that make me happy & try to put myself in pleasent situations whenever possible. I try to avoid areas which can lead to stress or unpleasantness & concentrate on areas of potential happiness & fufillment. Health & happiness & the two best ingredients in life.
