Do You Have What it Takes to be Happy?

Add up your “yes” responses to see what your score means:

Do you …
… generally expect things to go well in your life?
… have loving, supportive friendships and other relationships?
… feel as though your life has a sense of purpose?
… approach new situations with a can-do spirit?
… feel like you have some control over your life?
… feel fairly challenged in your work or personal interests?
… often get caught up in an activity because it’s so enjoyable?
… practice some form of spirituality, religious or otherwise?

Your answers:
0 – 2: If happiness seems hard to come by, your attitude and outlook could be the holdup. Re-examine your beliefs on bliss to get back on track.

3 – 5: You’re almost there – you have some of the traits that contribute to happiness, but you may not be putting them to maximum use.

6 – 8: Congrats! Not only do you possess many qualities and attitudes that are connected with happiness, but – equally important – you know how to use them to enhance everyday joy.
