Is Your Glass Half Full?

“Happiness within is the ability to receive the pleasant without grasping and the unpleasant without condemning.”

No amount of technological development can lead to lasting happiness.  What is always missing is a corresponding inner development.  Cleaning up our mental environment so that real happiness within can be both uncovered and sustained.

This is where learning to be an optimist comes in.  Learn to see the cup half full, not half empty. Optimists suffer less and recover quickly.  They are healthier and better liked and have stronger marriages and more fun.  Clearly there optimistic attitude, sometimes can be enough to make some gloomy.
