Shelly's Modeling Agencies | Being Happy

Shelly's Modeling Agencies makes the point that being happy is one of the strongest human desires. Does this mean that our capacity for it is just luck of the draw? Not exactly. Although disposition is largely genetic, there is one area within our control: attitude. Optimism is a trait that can be developed. Over time, we can retrain our mind to replace negative thought patterns with positive ones. Add to that the theory that acting happy encourages genuine feelings of happiness, and you've got a pretty powerful antidote to the disposition dilemma.
