Jun 8 2011: In my opinion; Happiness is a decision.
Several years ago, I humbly wrote the following equation;
Think well = Feel well
Feel well = Think well
Think bad = Feel bad
Feel bad = Think bad.
Tis true as truth;
positive emotion induces positive thought, as well as positive thought induces postive emotion.
Same as;
negative emotion induces negative thought, as well as negative thought induces negative emotion.
Several years ago, upto to-now; I have experienced many negative experiences:
-My thirty years young older sister passed away from cronic narrowing of her arteries caused by her diabetes
-I persued what I thought to be true love; resulting in a very painful broken heart, where I learned the beautiful lesson on love, 'chemistry does not equal compatibility.'
-I lost all my possessions and independence due to alcohol dependency
-I successfully started a business with zero dollars, named Thinkwell Anywhere Inc., home of "The Peoples' Economic Stimulus Plan"... Acquired financing by selling shares in the idea; where my personal decisions to allocate the moneys acquired proved to be failed investment on my part for the money invested did not turn a profit.
--- Yet all the while; when all outward experiences would/could/should cause Me to feel bad and think bad;
the Think Well equation above; day in and day out helped Me to feel happy more than I felt unhappy.
Yes. I did; do, and have 'felt' unhappy throughout all I describe and still experience; duly note, Think Well has helped Me to Feel Well more than I thought and/or felt bad.
I am not saying I am right; I am willing to be wrong;
I share this to-now;
in humble effort and hope that another one and/or many others; find and feel the personal benefits that I found and feel, from the(my) simple decision to... Think Well.
