Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 2059271, member: 25"] There was a study done by two Harvard professors, following a number of students over the course of their life and looking for the keys to happiness. An article with more details is linked below. I've read a number of other accounts of this study over the years and the main finding basically says this. Everyone has a moment (or moments) in their life where they have a cross to bear. Loss of a child. Failed business. Failed marriage. Serious medical condition. Everyone has something. The key to long term happiness is how you deal with those moments and your attitude in trudging onward. If you choose to let them encompass you? Things like depression, substance abuse and suicide can creep in and it often results in a miserable existence and potentially an early death. Or, you can learn from them, choose to make tomorrow a better day that today was and walk on with your head up. Good luck.
