Sometimes we preordain the disasters that befall us by our own poor choices. Sometimes terrible things just happen. The world is ugly sometimes. But no matter what happens, you have a choice. You can deal with the shit, and look for the joy. You can choose not to be bitter. You can focus on your children, and being a good mom, and admiring the people that they turn out to be. The list goes on and on. I think happiness is a choice. This being said, I have to tell you that I come from a bitter, angry family.
I thought the article's take on it was interesting. I'd never considered the idea that happiness as a mindset--to some degree-might be dictated by genetics.
