Some thoughts regarding our minds and a peaceful, calm, well-being:

At any conscious moment in our life, there's always the choice to view anything, whether it's an idea, object, or person, positively or negatively. We often do not notice our brains helping us label our surroundings positively or negatively, but the choice is always made. Add up enough positives or negatives, and your sense of well-being will affected for the better or worse. Some people are more prone to be "happy" because they more often consciously look upon their surroundings in a positive perspective. They do it consciously more often, which equals more practice for the mind, which tells the brains that the default is to label thins positively. Contrast this with the person who more often consciously pessimistic. This is telling the mind, "Hey, the default is life sucks. There's something wrong with everything around me." And seriously, the mind will more often label things negatively, making the person unhappy. 

People don't realize how much habit can affect their minds. The mind is like a mold - keep on doing something, and the mind will shape into whatever you keep making it be.

Just so you know, I've always been fascinated about brain science/neuroscience/neurology. And relatedly, psychology and sociology. I'm particularly interesting in the human mind, because it's so powerful and influencing in our lives. I mean, studies have shown how our minds have a high influence on our health, emotions, life, etc.
