		<description><![CDATA[I hope you remember or know of the old cartoons, "Popeye The Sailor Man"? If not I suggest you watch a couple on YouTube so you will see what I'm talking about here. It is an entertaining way to get a huge life lesson, believing in yourself. Yes, we can get personal growth from cartoons.  Something that happens on every episode is that Popeye goes from being lackluster and in an undesirable situation, to an energized, self-confident fireball taking care of business. The analogy I see here with Popeye is that he transforms once he realizes who he really is and what he is capable of. Which is what we all can do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what's wrong with wanting happiness? Nothing, it's normal for us to desire happiness, it's a natural built in desire. However, striving for it is another matter. When you focus on wanting anything, you are actually focusing on out lack of it. ]]></description>

multiple happy smiles Happy, joyful and pleasant, OR unhappy, miserable and crabby?

Will you expect good or will be expecting something to go wrong?              

 Will you feel confident in yourself or afraid you aren't good enough?

 You get the idea here. The thing is, you can actually decide which way you will be. All of your attitudes and feelings are the result of a definition. Your definition of yourself. The key is, this is not set in stone - it is set in your mind. And you can change it.

		<description><![CDATA[Do you think happy people have more in their life to be happy about? Well, yes and no. They are happy about more things in their life because they focus on being thankful and grateful about more things in their life. 

What you focus on expands. When more of your attention is on things that bring up good feelings more than bad feelings you will be much happier and less dissatisfied with daily life. It boils down to perspective. First, what are you looking at and how are you looking at it?
