Whether you think you’re happy or unhappy, you are!

Many years ago, Dale Carnegie theorized that one’s happiness is predicated upon one’s own thoughts, irrespective of their material circumstances. Decades later, the science of epigenetics has proven Dale correct.

In our lead article, Bruce Lipton explains that epigenetics is the field which studies how environmental information interacts with our genes and controls genetic activity. When we change our response (perception) to outside influences, we change our health -- and our future. The golden nugget here is that we are not victims of our heredity. We control our own fate. It is solely up to us how we choose to perceive our circumstances.

John Badalament offers up A New Vision of Fatherhood. He states that Modern Dads can make a tremendous positive difference in their children’s lives. “Children need a new kind of provider who not only supports them materially, but emotionally, physically and spiritually as well.” To me, this is stating the obvious. As a dad in the year 2010, I find it disheartening that this is not a universal given.

Imagine making this statement about mothers? There is such a parental perception gap. I remember when my daughter was very young and I’d take her around town or to the park. People would remark “Oh, so you’re baby-sitting today?” Babysitting my own daughter? No one would ever dream of saying that to a mom. “No, I am parenting my child,” I replied, thinly disguising my indignation. More fathers need to become more nurturing so as to finally render this mind-set obsolete.
