I cannot thank Norman Vincent Peale enough for that book "The Power of Positive Thinking" I did not realize it would have such an impact on me.
Every situation no matter how adverse it is I see something good in it. And that book shows how that can be achieved.
When I had that ghastly accident years ago and was back on my feet giving me a new lease of life I started appreciating that which I had taken for granted.
It is not how much one has but what one makes of what one has is the route to happiness and with this attitude one can see positivity every where
What is your secret of happiness?

Yes, positive thinking makes me calmer, no matter how bad what happened to me. I'm always looking for loopholes to think positively. So that I don't get too lost in sadness for a long time.

Thinking gets you nowhere, it is doing that works.

Yes, it is a great book, well worthy of the read.
On page 208, it says:
'"Where love is," said Tolstoy, "God is,"'
and, we might add, where God and love are, there is happiness. So, a practical principle in creating happiness is to practice love."
Now, that is something that I agree with too.

Love can prevail where one can look for positives in a relationship as it is not always that everything is hunky dory

@allknowing Yes, in every relationship, there is always something positive, if we will look for it, and value it for what it is.
