happiness and Optimism

" People who have moved from a bad financial situation into comfort or wealth have resilience. They can overcome-on the job, in their personal lives, with their finances. They don't deny the bad things that happen, but they're able to turn their focus  to things over which they have no control  with the belief that they have the ability  to effect change. The good news is you dont have to be born with resilence- you can learn it by controlling the thin gs you can control and letting go of the others."
