while a happy person will find a way to be happy even in hard times, sure, a miserable person will find a way to be miserable even on easy street. but sometimes life offers a chance to change. maybe the miserable person had never gone snorkling off the swim platform of a boat before. maybe that person will discover a new world there, a new self here.
Very well put. I am the kind of person who believes in the possibility to change one's life. We might have our particular bent or slant to the opportunities presented to us, but the opportunities are there.
It's up to us what to do with them.
