Happy Saturday!!
Since I like reading self help books and creating dreams boards I am a firm believer that we are by products of our thoughts and actions. Elle.Com release an interesting article called "Think Yourself Happy". The confirms what I have learned and experienced; we can make ourselves happy with our own thoughts.

Turn off the TV. "If we've fallen under the sway of a supernormal stimulus, we need to change our habits to avoid it," she writes. Once the new habit is established, we'll enjoy it as much as we thought we'd enjoy the ice cream in front of the boob tube. "The pleasure mechanism can be shaped as to what it responds to," she writes.
