Thanks to
featherynscale, I have now learned of potential proof that happiness leads to success, rather than just the other way around.
I think I sort of already believed that to be true -- happiness leads to self-confidence which leads to success -- and seems somehow related to the fact that I believe in good luck but not in bad luck. And I consider myself to be a generally lucky person.
It also seems to be support for the idea that being easily-amused is not a bad thing. As long as amusement leads to happiness, anyway.
