chapter 1 Understanding happiness.

Let's start by clearing up a common misunderstanding about happiness. A lot of people think being happy means you have to be cheerful all the time or that you should never feel sad frustrated or upset but that's not true at all. Happiness isn't about forcing a smile or pretending everything is perfect. 1.It's about creating balance in your life and learning to appreciate the little moments of Joy, even when things aren't going your way. 

Think about this. Studies show that happiness is influenced by three main factors. 2. About 50% of it comes from your genetics meaning some people naturally feel more upbeat than others. it's just how they're wired. 

3.Then there's 10% that's based on your circumstances.

4.Things like where you live your job or your financial situation. 5.Surprisingly that's not as big of a factor as we might think. 6.The remaining 40% is determined by your mindset and the habits you practice daily.

That's the exciting part. It means nearly half of your happiness is completely within your control. 7.By focusing on small consistent actions and shifting your perspective you have the power to create a happier life no matter what challenges you're facing.
