"In recent decades, leading experts in the field of happiness research called "positive psychology" have learned that contentment is indeed an inside job. Through intensive research, psychologist have learned that external circumstances ... account for ony 10 percent of a person's happiness. The other 90 percent is fairly evenly split between factors: genetics, which we cannot control; and attitudes and behaviors, which we can. ... [the] love of God, and neighbor, serving others, building relationships, caring for my body, nurturing my soul, and constantly expressing gratitude are the building blocks of a contented life." Ministry, pages 24-25; November 2016 issue.
