Two days ago was the deadline I completed my Positive Psychology exam asking about "Living Well at Every Stage of Life and The Principles of Pleasure." Before I did the exam, I read about the material in the book and found something interesting, so I decided to share in this blog.
First, the conversation between Godsey (a member of the city's Human Right Commission, founder of local Thanksgiving and holiday food and toy drives, and past chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia Beach) and Lynda Filipiak-Wilchynski (Godsey's sales assistant at Ferris, Baker, Watts Inc.).
Godsey said that the key to happiness is simple. We wake up every morning full of choices, and our state of happiness is something we can do every single day. How you are going to make your day this morning? And we only have today. God never promised us tomorrow.
Then Lynda responds his word "Do the faltering economy, threats of terrorism and a looming war make this a difficult time to be happy?
"No, absolutely not," Godsey said. "Because I cannot control those things, why we focus on something I can't control or that will bring me down?"
Reading this sentence makes me think that it is true because we can't control anything that happens. But I am also a human being, so, on the other hand, it's easy to say but not easy to do, but we can still try, right? We have to. So we can keep our life sane, haha.
And the second is David Myers's suggestions for a happy life. Since it consists of 10 things with long sentences, I'll put the picture here instead of writing this down.
