There is a tendency for people to return to a relatively stable level of happiness even after a terrible event. Those who win the lottery aren’t forever ecstatic and those who lose a loved one don’t feel lost forever.

You – not the outside world – create your own happiness. You have to take charge of it.

You can create happiness in your life daily by:

• Practicing gratitude: Cultivate a sense of appreciation for what you have
• Embracing uncertainty: Don’t allow yourself to get caught up in things you cannot control
• Finding purpose: Figure out what your unique genius is and bring it into the world
• Valuing your time: Don’t focus on how much money you have; count the hours of the day you can pursue what you find meaningful

Change your thoughts:  Many times, we let our thoughts run our lives, but in reality we are in charge and can change our mood with a different thought or perspective on the situation.

Increasing your general satisfaction with life takes intention – a plan of action. You have the tools you need to be happier than you’ve ever been.

You will be amazed at what you can do even when you are not happy at work.  The first you can do is Smile and watch how you affect others and how it affects you.
