 Happiness: Acting as if
I generally believe that e the majority of people sway between the duality of happy and unhappy depending on external conditions. You know, happy when they have a relationship, money, a house, etc....
Eventually external conditions become annoying and people become desperate to feel good most, if not all of the time. This is where spirituality can come into play. Also, the realization that negativity is trapped within you.
This is where personal growth is involved and the courage to change. The happiest people have overcome tremendous obstacles and grown from them. I know people who have changed their mind and reacted to everything like it was awesome and just pretended being happy as often as possible. The brains plasticity will help you change and you'll build more powerful synapses and it'll be easier for you to produce happiness. Act as if..
Eventually it will became a reality. I'm sure it's not easy, but I'd imagine its amazingly rewarding..
I had a very depressed friend who did this and now she is truly the happiest person I know.
