Love this quote:

[emre43]

"Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits".

 

[Pacific_Loner]

But... doesn't our good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom at some level depends on the condition of life in which chance has placed us?

I still like the quote though

Whenever I'm worrying about something I think about this similar quote:

"The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven." (John Milton)

In other words, it's all in your head.

Not really. Our emotions are influenced by the way we think about situations, i.e. feeling sad about a situation is a healthy emotion, whereas feeling depressed is an unhealthy emotion.

I like that! yes, sometimes I (for me anyway) I tend to blow things out of proportion and then go back and think, hmm, that wasn't so bad...it was all in my head.
