Happy and unhappy people ask different questions when an undesirable thing happens to them. Happy people ask, “What am I going to do about this?” and “How am I going to prevent this from happening again?” Unhappy people ask, “Why does this always happen to me?” or “Who is to blame for this?” In essence, happy people are willing to employ the power of choice and ownership, while unhappy people opt for a sense of victimisation. Happy people work with life as it is, not as they wished it were.
