I do believe that this quote is true alot of the time...,if you look for the good in most situations you will find that there is more to be thankful than you originally thought..

Yes you are right tina, in life we got a lot of things to be thanked for and come to think of it, we are fortunate enough to enjoy what we have right now.

i totally agree with this quote happiness is really the choice we make in our life its our reaction to an event or situation that makes us happy or sad not the situation itself.its only our choice how to react to a situation so being happy or sad totally depends on us.

Yes, i agree with you in such a way. That's true because when we think that we won't gonna be happy after going into such a thing, we don't let ourselves take it. It only makes us sad either and so we chose what's for us to be happy.

Not all the time. I think that depending on your outlook on things, you may be able to increase your happiness but sometimes there are things that can definitely hinder your happiness. For instance, I don't know that you could choose to be happy on a day that a loved one passed away.
