I like your attitude. I don't see what worrying and being upset all of the time will do to make anything better anyway. If anything, it's the people who believe things can be better that will make them so. |
Yes that is how I feel, too. I am truly NOT worried, I am not "lying to myself" like my friend like to imply. I am not sitting on the floor all day meditating that everything is "wonderful." I simply believe that I always have what I always need. And, change is not always bad.
I also found this quote. I love it!
“The U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.”–Benjamin Franklin
So no matter what the gas prices are, I can pursue happiness. I should probably check out the thread about government and happiness... I haven't looked at it, yet, but this seems to be pretty close to the idea of that thread.
