Exactly! I have the power to be happy everyday!. I cannot let someone hold my happiness in their hand, and let them decide!. I wake up each morning feeling great, ready to start the day, and ready to discover some of life's greatest gifts!. I have a positive, happy attitude because I have spent way too many days on the negative other side!. Choosing happiness is all up to me, and as I do this, I create the wonderful life I deserve!.

I understand we all live amongst negative people who try their hardest to bring us down with them!. I have decided when I am around those people, I just repeat to myself, "No one can steal my thunder!." And my thunder is my happiness!.

It depends on the circumstances!. But on the whole, only blaming yourself is madness!. Foreclosures on houses and poor air quality making you miserable are hardly your fault, especially if you have tried to combat them!.
This little "you make your own future" philosophy is designed to make people feel as though they are responsible for everything in order to exhonerate the real guilty!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know that if i am unhappy, then i am really the only one to blame because nobody else can control how i live my life or react to different situations!.!.!. but sometimes it just feels good to be able to blame other people!. That is definitely something i have to work on and i know that, but i don't think you should judge others to harshly for it because it is natural not to want to take all the responsibility on your own shouldersWww@QuestionHome@Com

You are correct happiness is a state of mind and is not allways easy to achive!.

I have been on anti depressants of 13 years (Chemical imbalance)and when I Really Try Hard I can feel happy, but it takes a lot of hard work for me!.

At times I blame other people, becuase that is easy to do that to re ajust my own thinking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If I said I could be angry any time I want to be, it's all in my mind, what does that actually mean!? It means I want to have one emotion all the time and I must be damaged in some way!. Just replace happiness and you have your answer!. You must be damaged in some way!.

Happiness is an emotion!. Emotions come and go!. Get over it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree, but often one blames others due to the shame they have of not being happy and seeing other enjoy life to the fullest!. also, people may blame others because they have what they want, looks, brains, the guy/girl etc!.

Personally i blame others even tho ik its my fault!. Its a bad habit but its often due to jealousy!.

Hope this helps!.
