Always Look for the Good
When things go wrong with happy people they say “oh well.” They don’t spend their time dwelling on the fact that something went wrong, and they also acknowledge the fact that it could’ve been worse. If there are in a minor car accident, they say, “well, that could’ve been worse. If the flight at the airport is delayed, they say, “well, at least it didn’t get canceled.” Happy people do not dwell on negative events — they just say “next.”
