We always seem to want those things we don't have. Moreover, we are often convinced（使相信） that if we had those things we want so badly, we would finally be happy.

The truth is that happiness is an attitude(态度). _________is not something created by outside circumstances(环境), ______ instead is completely within your control.

Nothing will give you a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness, unless you cultivate (滋养)happiness consciously. Below are some simple yet specific steps you can take to cultivate  happiness.

Be grateful.

Create a sense of gratitude for what you have, for what is working, for what is wonderful and sweet in your life. A morning or evening gratitude list, written each day, can do wonders for helping you feel grateful.

Take care of yourself.

Identify（辨别） the small things in life that make you feel good, and do one daily. A short walk, a few minutes of writing in your journal, a short meditation, watching the sunset…whatever, will improve your outlook on life.

Read inspirational(励志的) material.

It helps to be reminded of positive thoughts and positive attitudes. Get a small book of positive, inspirational thoughts and keep it by your desk. Read one or two thoughts each day.

Is the glass half empty or full? Life works better when the glass is half full regardless of your life status.

No matter how many wonderful things you do to create a positive, happy, satisfied life, you could still end up unhappy. Ultimately, happiness, gratitude, a feeling of satisfaction is a choice. So, from now on, choose to be happy!
