What determines our happiness? Our genetic makeup, the circumstances that we are in or our daily habits?

It has been estimated that even though our happiness is determined 50% by our genetic makeup and 10% by our life circumstances, what truly matters is the remaining 40%. That 40% of our happiness depends fully on the activities and habits that we repeat daily that shape our happiness.

So, what happiness boosting habits can help us to remain determined to be happy even in the most challenging circumstance? I invited Christine Handy, mother of two, a breast cancer survivor, international speaker, accomplished model, best-selling author, and a nationally recognized humanitarian to talk about her story of finding determination and purpose in pain.
