Quote of the Day: Dale Carnegie

by Oct 23, 2017

It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.

-Dale Carnegie

The way we frame a situation, circumstance, etc. in our own mind greatly influences our feelings towards it. For example, the more we obsess over a negative situation, the worse it becomes in our mind. The way we frame something in our own minds influences how we continue to view it.
