Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

It hasn’t been going well for me over the last couple of days.<\/p>\n

First a few days ago, I had a serious computer problem.<\/p>\n

I took it to a specialist and he messed it up big time. I had to wipe off my entire hard drive.<\/p>\n

I had backups but not was missing some stuff.<\/p>\n

It was a total nightmare.<\/p>\n

There’s an incredible bipolar lesson I am going to be telling you about all of this in the next week or so.<\/p>\n

Even though I am really annoyed about all of this.<\/p>\n

We are going to talk about being happy today.<\/p>\n

Here’s something interesting for you to think about:<\/p>\n

I dare you to be happy.<\/p>\n

Yep, just like when we were kids, and somebody dared you to do something. Or double-dared you…<\/p>\n

I dare you to be happy.<\/p>\n

You might ask me, “Well, Dave, how can I be happy when I suffer from bipolar disorder or
\ndepression?”<\/p>\n

Well, I still dare you to be happy!<\/p>\n

See, happiness is a state of mind – an attitude.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t depend on whether everything is going right in your life.<\/p>\n

It has to do with how you FEEL about your life.<\/p>\n

I know a person who has bipolar disorder, and she still has episodes from time to time, but she
\nis still happy, because she has a good life.<\/p>\n

How can she do this?<\/p>\n

Even though she has episodes (because she still has a chemical imbalance in her brain), she
\nhas learned how to manage her bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

This woman is one of the most positive people you’d ever want to meet, and I think we can all learn a lesson from her.<\/p>\n

See, this is what I’m talking about:<\/p>\n

This woman still has bipolar disorder, but she is HAPPY!<\/p>\n

It’s all about your state of mind (your attitude) towards life.<\/p>\n

You can choose to focus on the negative or you can choose to focus on the positive.<\/p>\n

You can choose to be unhappy or you can choose to be happy.<\/p>\n

It’s your choice.<\/p>\n

So…<\/p>\n

I dare you to be happy!<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, I talk about how there are some things you have control over, and some things you don’t have control over:<\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
\nVisit:
\nhttp:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a>
\nYour attitude is one of the things you DO have control over.<\/p>\n

Regardless of your moods, or the mood swings that come with bipolar disorder, that is.<\/p>\n

And for supporters of loved ones with bipolar disorder, who might suffer with depression, it’s the same thing.<\/p>\n

You could be depressed from time to time, but you can still be happy with your life
\nin general.<\/p>\n

I know, that sounds weird, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

But depression is a temporary state of mind – it will pass, if you let it.<\/p>\n

But generally speaking, you can be a positive person.<\/p>\n

No, you can’t control others.<\/p>\n

No, you can’t control the world.<\/p>\n

No, you can’t control the state of affairs.<\/p>\n

No, you can’t control what happens to you.<\/p>\n

BUT…<\/p>\n

Someone once said that “Life consists of 1% what happens to you and 99% of your reaction to it.”<\/p>\n

You CAN control your reaction to what happens to you.<\/p>\n

And, like I said before…<\/p>\n

You can control your attitude, and still be happy with your life,<\/p>\n

You can still be happy with yourself,<\/p>\n

You can still be happy with things in general.<\/p>\n

So, despite bipolar disorder, despite depression, you can still be happy, that’s what I’m saying.<\/p>\n

SO…<\/p>\n

I dare you to be happy.<\/p>\n

I double-dare you!<\/p>\n
