I would need to be:

1. Happy a lot. No or little negative thoughts.
2. Trusting.
3. Kind.
4. Unconcerned with my finances.
5. Grateful.
6. Basically, ignorant... knowledge isn't power... it is often misery.

Someone once said that innocence is the lack of knowledge.. and I can't help but see that here. People become happy and joyful and because, they are kind of regressing into they way they were when they were children almost. But, whatever works works right? My current life being:

1. Unhappy and consumed with negative thoughts.
2. Untrusting and guarded.
3. Kind of mean.
4. Ungreatful
5. Obsessed with information - after all knowledge is power... but there is no doubt knowing things makes me worry about them.

Is getting me on a first class ticket to misery town.

But here is the question... CAN I DO IT? I am 48, is it possible to change your life like this at this age?
You can change your entire life at any age. There is no guarantee it will make you happier. "Change" is ubiquitous. What part of your life do you want to change? Your outer appearance? Your job? Your city? Your education? Your friendships? Your eating habits? Your hobbies?

If you want to change any part of your life, you will when you are ready to change. Change is scary because the outcome we plan for cannot be guaranteed. So, you have to accept that risk comes with the desire to change.
