Kristin Baron Cuthriell has a blockbuster of a post over at her blog on the topic of happiness:

Where are you looking for happiness?

Studies show that our personal happiness is…

• 50% Predisposition/The way we were born.
• 10% Circumstances: You got it. Only around 10% of our happiness has to do with our situation and circumstances.
• 40% Our intentional activities.  This is what we can change.
