“Happiness is not the absence of challenges in life. Instead, it is the ability of managing the challenges in life. We learn how to change our own perception of stressors and perceive them from a positive perspective.
We decide how we want to feel about situations in life. We are in control of our emotions, thoughts, and actions. We choose how to feel in situations and how to respond to them. As a result, we change our energy inside and we attract positive events in our life. This is the state of mind that leads to happiness!”
