Essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for! If your mind-set hinges on “someday” happiness, you’ll miss what’s good and right in the moment. “Be open to the idea that life does not happen to you, but that life happens for you.” Remember to surround yourself with positive people, choose your flock with intention. Optimism or the reverse can be contagious. Seeing yourself as a victim can be self-fulfilling prophecy; visualize yourself a winner and you’ll be one! Cheers.
