Recently I have been able to discuss happiness in life with chronically ill patients (I am a research director at a private cancer foundation). We have realized that both good and bad things happen in life. What seems essential in life is how you react to these events. If events of life (good and bad) are received honestly accepting them as they emerge, then it is possible to experience deep happiness, peace of mind, and joy every day. Even if you are burdened by a chronical disesae.

In the event of difficulties we can learn from good and bad happenings. It seems paramount to find the keys of success in all events of life (good or bad). When good things happen in life, then there is a clear reason to be genuinely grateful and to feel genuine happiness.

We are learning step by step the secrets of a good life by accepting the things that happen to us.

Let’s think about this simple but important thing leading to a happy life: self-acceptance.

I am grateful for any comments and suggestions from you.
