We human are fundamentally storytellers. The most important story of all is never voiced; it is the story we tell ourselves, the story of our lives.
Given two persons of similar histories and circumstances, one may create a story of troubles and woes, while another may create a story of challenges and successes. The woeful story is likely to engender miserable feelings and that person will project bitterness in words and deeds. The inspiring story engenders pleasant feelings and such a person will project happiness - regardless of the circumstances.
The phrase "live between the ears" recognizes that to a large degree our reality is shaped by the story we tell ourselves. If we want to live happily, then we must tell ourselves an uplifting life story, free of self pity, remorse, resentments, etc. This may be difficult - particularly if one feels their misery is justified. It is amazing how some hold on to garbage for their whole live merely to feel superior or elicit the sympathy of others.
In summary, if you want to live a happy and joyous life, free your mind of garbage, fill it with positive thoughts, and act in an esteemable manner.
