"Don't worry, be happy now"

great clip!

this seems to make sense to me- a mindset of moderate happiness gives you more flexibility for highs (and lows); hopefully more highs....

but overall, the flexibility helps you to deal with the lows better and appreciate the highs when they happen

The finding that moderate happiness may be preferable to full-fledged elation comes from a review of data from the World Values Survey, a large-scale analysis of economic, social, political and religious influences around the world.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/01/25/a-moderate-level-of-happiness-is-best/1839.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/psychcentral.com/img/689892EF-BA7A-47E7-BB3A-5AC2A9E3D1EB" alt="Young man" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/01/25/a-moderate-level-of-happiness-is-best/1839.html"><P>The research team began with the prediction that mildly happy people (those who classify themselves as eights and nines on the 10-point life satisfaction scale) may be more successful in some realms than those who consider themselves 10s. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/01/25/a-moderate-level-of-happiness-is-best/1839.html"><P>This prediction was based on the idea that profoundly happy people may be less inclined to alter their behavior or adjust to external changes even when such flexibility offers an advantage.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3F86FD08-A431-4A02-AEED-02A4DC14696D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
