Absolutely. It’s amazing to me the number of things that I’ve allowed to mess with my own emotions simply because they weren’t the way I thought they should be.

Thanks for the comment.

I think you read right, I am starting to learn its best just to move on from certain things as opposed to trying to fight them.

@Brad – You hit that nail yourself when you said that unhappiness can come from exaggerating those things that are “wrong”. The cool thing about life, though, is that those things that are “right” always outnumber the things that are wrong. Life is just set up that way… otherwise it never would have continued. So if exaggerating the good works, great! But I’m not so sure it’s necessary… just looking around consciously is usually enough for me.

More on “But How” coming in the follow up post.

I read recently that unhappiness is over-focusing on the small things that are wrong. Something or someone is imperfect, so let’s get mad or unhappy.

Perhaps happiness is just over-focus on what’s right.
