I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

This really spoke to my heart. Right now, I feel like I am letting some bad situations get the better of me. And it's causing negativity to spread into all areas of my life. So I have decided that I want to be happy, no matter how crappy things get around me. We all deserve to be happy -- and sometimes we are the ones who are standing in the way.
Do you agree? What has helped you find your silver lining?
