Many people believe that the amount of happiness that we receive when born determines our happiness in life. Sonja Lyubomirksy, in her article, “How Happy Are You and Why”,wwe 4 Baires 2 Providetfa pie chart of how happiness can potentially be determined by “10% circumstances, 50% set point, and 40% intentional activity” Ayypouriticx 184), which emphasizes that fact that 9 it is our choice to put in effort into becoming a happier person. The pie chart clearly states that it is partially our responsibility to become happier with the decisions and experiences that we ~ x make. If one gains happiness by the choices that they make in their internal minds{f will oh automatically make that person feel great about themselves due to the amount of effort that is inputted. Also it is important to start analyzing and creating short term or long term goals { because it is 40% intentional activity (Lyubomirsky 184). In other words, i's another opportunity to gain happiness if the genetics results come out with negative responses. Lyubomirsky ‘id f reassures that consistently enjoying life can be challenging, but itis also important to remember (\ ; wy that “Happiness consists in activty...t is a running stream, not a stagnant poo!” (Lyubomirsky, (y Ke y wy e 194).

Dalia Lama and Howard Cutler in their article, “The Sources of Happiness”, provided a story on how a girl named Heather who lived in Phoenix and was a counselor who realized that, “the growing population, the traffic, and the oppressive heat in the summer” (Lama and Cutler 30), had tricked her into thinking that she was not happy which affected her internal spaceBaires 3 happy, however, the aspects that she doesn't like in her life are temporary things. She then’ reconsidered, moving near the mountains. However, she realized that she “wouldn't enjoy her job, oid as much as her other one” (Lama and Cutler 30). Itis crucial to question if that place or thing brings happiness or satisfaction. If one does not detect their status of happiness or satisfactio than one can be wondering when will they ever be happy because things that bring one satisfaction or is a desire is only temporarily, and happiness is sense of fulfillment. People start believing that their current mental state is forever not changing iRowevef, it is the only temporary. David Brooks, in his article, “What Suffering Does”, explains how some ‘well known historical figures felt after dealing with a tragic incident. Brooks explained how ‘Theologian Paul Tillich realizes that people who suffer from “tragic events are revealing an area” (Brooks 286). In other words, after one endured a tragic moment or a suffering period, they reflect and analyze what happened and question themselves on how they can become stronger. Even though these suffering periods may seem long, fortunately, they are temporarily, and itis our choice to internally engage with one's mind and learn something about ourselves which vf help us understand since one is suffering, however, it is beneficial to everyone. Brooks then admires these tragic moments as “fearful gifts” (Kyodks 287) to acknowledge the fact that struggling is normal and learning comes from heartbreak, incidents, and ‘5; which will then bg mat later appreciated when one becomes a wiser and happier person. fd? rene Not many people appreciate the relationships and the connections that one gets Woe Re the world and the environment.
