<\/em>and of course the opposite, as well.\u00a0 So, why NOT have positive expectations?\u00a0 Even if you are occasionally wrong, the journey\u2019s a lot more fun.<strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>5. <\/strong><strong>Fiction:<\/strong><strong> It won\u2019t last (so why bother?).<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Fact:<\/strong> <strong>This one is true &#8212; Happiness won\u2019t last.\u00a0 But then, neither will sadness, anger, fear, or any other normal emotion.<\/strong> Happiness is a great place to visit, and I hope you get there often.\u00a0 Yet every emotion has a purpose, and you want to visit those emotions when they will serve you better.\u00a0 (Tip: try to visit Happiness daily, to keep in practice!)<strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>6. <\/strong><strong>Fiction:<\/strong><strong> My enemies (or boss, or rivals) will think I\u2019m weak.<\/strong> I\u2019ll get hurt.<br \/>\n<strong>Fact:<\/strong> <strong>The emotional family to which Happiness belongs is a very grounded and solid one. <\/strong> Active practice of the positive emotions like joy, confidence, forgiveness, hope, enthusiasm, ambition, and gratitude actually make you incredibly strong.<br \/>\nSee the next 7 Scary Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year on October 31, Americans celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes, exchanging candy and, most of all, scaring each other.
