Everyone has the right to have a happy and productive life, according to Life by Design. Every day, we have the option of making personal decisions that will either add to or detract from the great life we desire. We often let life situations affect our moods and actions because we don’t know how to conduct things differently. We will all confront challenging life problems at some point in our lives.

You may not be able to control what happens to you in the face of these challenges, but you can control how you respond to life’s disappointments and stressors if you have the correct tools (beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors). Other times, you may have a fantastic life but want for something more.
