Want to know what consistently happy people do differently than consistently grumpy people?
(Note: I’m not talking about people with medically diagnosed depression issues.)
I believe the number one big difference between grumpy people and happy people is…
Grumpy people are “negative evidence collectors.”
Grumpy people are dutifully looking for “awful” things, people, events, to put in a mental folder labeled “proof life is awful.”
In contrast…
Happy people are “positive evidence collectors.”
Happy people are constantly looking for awesome things, people, events, to put into a mental folder labeled “proof life is awesome.”
Because happy people collect awesome not awful stuff, they notice and attract more awesome stuff.
As a result happy people wind up filling up their mental folders with lots of happy evidence that life is indeed awesome – and they thereby feel a lot happier.
In summary:
Don’t be a negative evidence collector about life!
Be a positive evidence collector!
