IS HAPPINESS IN OUR CONTROL ?
DEPENDS ON EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ?
External world is responsible for our Happiness
Only 10% depends on the happenings in the
External Environment
90% depends on how our BRAIN processes the external world

Focus on the Lens through which the brain sees the world and
Change that lens
