Francesca Reigler is the next person on my list. I can not find any background information on her. So sorry to disappoint, but I do not know when her time period is or when she was born, or any of that. Her quote was "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same." I find this to be a very interesting quote. And it seems really meaningful and true. I would personally agree with her. I believe I said this once, but I learned something in psychology a few weeks ago. But we do make our own moods. If you are looking to be sad that day, then you are going to get it. If you are looking to be a happy and enthusiastic person the next...you got it! Now what I think Francesca means is that obviously happiness is an attitude, but the work to be happy. Sometimes it can be tough, especially if you are having a bad day and I understand that. But instead of sulking in yourself, why not not waste your life and go out and have fun. There is more to life then simply missing that ex boyfriend or girlfriend that broke up with you last week. You have friends that you could be enjoying at this very moment. Though it may take some work to get in a better mood, why not go looking for some fun, to make that happy attitude.
Personally I use this all the time. I have a hard time on the tests in my Psychology class, and it always makes me in a sad or bad mood, when I try as hard as I could possibly do, and get my grade back only to look at an F or a D-. Happens almost everytime. But I go to my next class and decide that sad is not what I want to be. I am wasting my time on it. So I decide to talk to the person next to me, or even listen to my teacher, because he is cool. These always cheer me up, and even though I was upset for maybe a half hour I'm over it, and advise other people to go off of my example, because "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
