Why this website?

I want to share with you how I came to the point of deciding to create this site. 
I have always been a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of girl. Bad things can come my way, but they usually do not bother me for longer than a certain amount of minutes. Many things that can be seen as bad, I am able to see from a positive side, after which it is not a bad thing anymore. Even crisis and problems can be seen as interesting puzzles or adventures.

I never thought myself to be very special in this, but one day, not to long ago; I was lying in the swimming pool. I was in the company of one of the happiest persons that I know… and he was feeling unhappy.
Laying in the water and gazing at the ceiling I started wondering. Why have I never met anyone who is able to be happy as often as I am? Why do other people get so touched by little (bad?) things happening around them, which throwss them off-balance for hours or even weeks?

I realized that I had really commited myself to always be happy. This is a conscious choice that you can make and it might take a lot of effort to stick with it sometimes. Not everybody wants to make that effort.
I realized that there are many “tricks” that I use when facing a bad-feeling-opportunity. Would it be possible for me to teach other people the tricks and thereby teach them “happiness”? It would mean a good search inside myself to put to words what sometimes almost unconsiously do to guide my mood to the happy side.

I have no degree in psychology, but seem to be happier than any psychologist that I have ever met. I think it is anyways a funny thing that psychologists can have sincere problems with their own live and emotions. Didn't the books teach them how to deal with this?

I even heard a psychologist say that in college they learn that when a person is always happy then there is something wrong. The person is suppressing things or whatever. 
Well, excuse me, but even if that is true, kindly let me be “wrong” and happy, rather than fitting the description of a “normal person”.
I learned my lessons by “life”, books and from others around me, I met some awesome teachers of which some would inspire a boost of spiritual growth in me.

So, while laying in that swimming pool, I wondered:
What if just one person could master my tricks and live happily ever after?
What if some people could become just a bit happier, after using my tricks?
Wouldn’t that be worth the effort of putting it all into writing and share it with the world?

So, this is why I am offering this site to you. I succeed when you do. 
Please put your comments so that I will stay aware of how my writing feels to you and which questions are triggered. Feel free to describe your personal situation or ask questions in general. I want to hear all about you.
