STOP AND THINK Your happiness has less to do with your circumstances (results included) than it has to do with your perspective. (Tom Roy, founder of a ministry to professional ballplayers)

We are inclined to blame our circumstances or someone else when things don’t go well, aren’t we? We think we would be happier if this or that was different, if someone had done or not done something for us. But, really, happiness is more clearly related to how we look at life and circumstances. Think positively with a long-range view and a heavenly perspective.
 
To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness. (Ecclesiastes 2:26)
