An unhappy person may look at an obstacle as being their fault. They may look at an obstacle as manifesting some truth about them like they are the victim. They don't deserve to be happy. So when you notice yourself talk and you start identifying, "What am I saying about this situation, which will then reflect on me or determine how happy I feel generally?" You will learn a lot about your process and you will also have opportunities to change it if it is not working for you. Truly, bad things happen to everybody. So again, how you look at the bad thing and what you do with it is really the determining factor about whether or not you move through it successfully and recreate your joy or whether you sit and look down and say, "Oh, no."
