Mental Attitude

"Happiness doesn't depend on external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude." ~ Dale Carnegie ~
I met a woman over the weekend who was going through cancer treatments. This gal had a great sense of humor. Were her external conditions bad? Yes, they were, but her happiness was governed by her positive mental attitude.
Today's Bible verse says, In the world, you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Why should we be of good cheer when we have problems? I believe it helps us to go through things better. We all have external conditions we would rather not have. But our happiness doesn't have to depend on external conditions. Our happiness is governed by our mental attitude.
