What I "discovered" Was That Happiness Is Not Something That Happens. It Is Not The Result Of Good Fortune Or Random Chance. It Is Not Something That Money Can Buy Or Power Command. It Does Not Depend On Outside Events, But, Rather, On How We Interpret Them. Happiness, In Fact, Is A Condition That Must Be Prepared For, Cultivated, And Defended Privately By Each Person. People Who Learn To Control Inner Experience Will Be Able To Determine The Quality Of Their Lives, Which Is As Close As Any Of Us Can Come To Being Happy.

Memories, Thoughts And Feelings Are All Shaped By How Use It. And It Is An Energy Under Control, To Do With As We Please; Hence Attention Is Our Most Important Tool In The Task Of Improving The Quality Of Experience.
