Author Trent Hand lists what he believes are the deadliest attacks on happiness:
1. Comparing
yourself to others
2. Talking
about your dreams instead of going to work on them
3. Listening to
people with nothing positive to say
4. Focusing on
the news
5. Deciding
someone else needs to change
6. Thinking
“happiness” is a destination you can reach
7. Forgetting
to say “thank you”
Clearing negative influences out of our lives does have a
certain utility.
