“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” (Abraham Lincoln)
Lincoln was poor while growing up. His mother died when he was nine. Despite his hardships, he loved to tell jokes. Then, as President, he had to preside over the Civil War with all the anguish experienced by both sides.
So, when he says we’re as happy as we make up our minds to be, we’ve got to listen and take his advice to heart. It must resonate in our lives considering the life of suffering he endured.
We all have events in our lives that make us unhappy. So what do you do when that happens? Do you let it consume you or, after a reasonable time, do you move on?
Self management is the key. Decide to be happy!
