John Powell once said something that I believe is one of the keys to happiness and success. "What makes you happy is your basic attitude. All happiness and health begin in the head, with the way you look at things " He's right. Happiness is not a place. There are happy and unhappy people who live in the same place. It is not having lots of material things. In other words, happiness is a state of mind. It is, as Powell says, basically rooted in your mind, in your attitudes, in your looking at things, persons, places and situations. Can you relate to what Powell says that Happiness is a state of mind?

It is hard for me to work on that, but I do try.

Happiness begins with what we think. If we try to be positive we can be in peace with ourselves and feel happy. Happiness is a state of mind, it is our own choice about the way we want to live.

some people can find unhappiness in success - look at the tennis player Naomi osaka , always whinging on while making loads of money

Oh I can. It definitely can be. I’m generally a hunky dory person but I also realize that I have been blessed in so many ways. For a lot of people the struggles of surviving the day take too much effort and no effort is left to tap into that state of mind which is understandable.
