NOT AS HAPPY AS YOU COULD BE? TRY THIS.

If we are not as happy as we could be, do we just let it be, as if it were permanent?

Or as if it was too much effort compared to the result?

I would say the "result" is life itself - which I would rather consider worth everything!

We settle for too little. But Robert Mack didn't.

Suffering from depression, he wrote about depression: "It was something that was logically sound and experientially proven. Everything either was bad now or would be bad soon, would forever be bad on all occasions and in all places, and there was little, if anything, I could do about any of it. That is precisely what I thought..."

Considering suicide or "fixing" himself: "And so, left with the only real, actionable alternative I could find, I proceeded to throw myself passionately into self-help books, studies on cognitive therapy, psychocybernetics, and so on..." He had decided to "make happiness my career."

He succeeded and wrote an excellent book that is very readable on...guess what! The title is "Happiness From The Inside Out, The Art And Science Of Fulfillment".

I recommend that you read it and learn the realities of life, belief, and how we can see life - and begin to be more of a master at creating the life you could really have.
