Some women out there might be telling themselves, “I __15__ possibly feel good if I don't look good．” Really? Your life is __16__ to feel good to you． We can control the way we feel by controlling our thoughts． Instead of __17__ outside circumstances to bring about responses in us and make us happy or not, we can put our time, attention and resources on __18__ can affect the inside． No one else knows your reason for being happy． You do． Your happiness __19__ you to it． When you travel along your __20__ to joy, your conversation is of joy; your feelings are of joy—you're on the right way．
