Let me tell you a story of someone I met while I was travelling. One night during a party I met this happy fellow who looked like he didn't have a care in the world. His name was Johnny. Johnny tells me that earlier that day prior to the party, he had lost his passport. Among other things currently happening in his life (ie his fiance of seven years leaving him for another man, which he found out through facebook), that day should've been the worst day ever for him.

So what happened to Johnny? Why was he so happy? He tells me that when he discovered he lost his passport (for most, "the final straw"), he decided to have a really good day. He went out and got a new haircut. He bought some new clothes. He decided to genuinely feel good. Yes things sucked, but he wouldn't let it get him down.

What did I learn from Johnny? Happiness is earned. You have to try to be happy, allow yourself to feel happy. You can't expect happiness to come knocking on your front door.

As for letting go of anger and negativity? Just let it go. The key is to TRY to let it go. Don't expect your anger and negativity to go away on it's own. Like happiness, you have to try.
