PERSPECTIVE

This may be the most 'motivational poster'-esque post yet, but please try to cope. More importantly try to understand.

The most effective method of achieving happiness is having the right attitude. Stick with me here, you don't need to see a psychiatrist and rest assured I'm not saying you're a bad person. What I mean is, when you can learn to feel emotion based on logic rather than urge, you'll never need nor want to be angry or troubled again.

This, however, is easier said than done. How do you base your feelings on logic? Well you should already know that feeling sad is bad, and in most cases helps a situation naught. You should also know that feeling good feels good, and that pretty much everything you do in life is to try to make yourself feel 'good'. So with this method, next time you observe yourself becoming sad, or frustrated, or otherwise upset, just stop. Why voluntarily do something that harms you? Instead, smile and be happy. Negativity is unessential and harmful. Don't do it.

Again, this is tough, especially if you believe that negativity is 'just natural' or something that you can't help from feeling. Nonsense. You have an option, and once you understand this, the choice should be obvious.
