Hi Karvan, we're obviously on the same wave-length, I do indeed know where you're coming from.
I picked up my first book on positive thinking about 30 years ago written by the grand master of positive thinking Norman Vincent Peale - "The Power of Positive Thinking" (first published in the early 1950's). His motto: stand tall, walk tall and think tall.
Good story about the man who knows what stimulates the "happy hormones", endorphines. Are some people happy being miserable? maybe, if they've got comfortable in that state or maybe they think they don't deserve happiness and abundance. One of the points made in "The Secret" is when you ask for something believe that you already have it, imagine what it would feel like, also..........believe that you DESERVE it. It's said that life is a self-fullfilling prophecy, we colour our own world in. I know from experience that this is true.
