"

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don__, you will leak away your innate contentment. It__ easy enough to pray when you__e in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.

I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my bodyand life and money and energy with. I can select what I eat and read and study. I can choose how I__ going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life__hether I will see them as curses or opportunities (and on the occasions when I can__ rise to the most optimistic viewpoint, because I__ feeling too damn sorry for myself, I can choose to keep trying to change my outlook). I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. Andmost of all, I can choose my thoughts.you need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select what clothes you__e gonna wear every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That__ the only thing you should be trying to control.Drop everything else but that. Because if you can__ learn to master your thinking, you__e indeep trouble forever
