The title is nonsense. But I think there is some truth in this advice. I feel a lot more secure when I am happy and relaxed. On the otherside I feel very insecure around others when I am stressed out. I learned that I can actvely influence the way I feel and it is something I can get better in. So I want to add the advice: Learn what makes you happy and relaxed. Also learn what makes you feel bad and stressed out.

This is certainly true for me. I've convinced myself that feeling happy is just a choice.

The philosophy has done wonders for me. When I'm paying the proper attention, I can take a bad situation and make it positive just by deciding to relax my body, release my concerns and realize that happiness is something I can decide to feel no matter what else is going on.
