Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation(境况) by resisting(反抗)it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason. 38 But , they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter .
They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.
39 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.
