Happiness is a choice.
I wish I understood that in my younger years. It might have saved me a lot of heartache and confusion.
I always thought things in life were happening to me and that I had very little control over what transpired in my life.
That, however, is not the case. To be happy is a conscious choice you make on a daily basis.
We aren’t taught how to be happy by choice. We are taught that in order to be happy you have to attain or achieve certain criteria.
You have to find a good mate, have a good paying job with benefits, buy a home, and raise a happy healthy well adjusted family. Then you will be happy.
Happiness is readily available to everyone - without needing validation or acceptance from outside sources.
It is simply a decision you make. A choice you make over and over again.
There are times in life when happiness will be harder to come by. Life isn’t perfect and it never will be. It is during those times that external support can be our saving grace.
A loving hug from friends or family, kind words from a stranger, or the written words of a person’s faith can bring a moment solace and peace.
The first step to being happy is understanding that it is your CHOICE.
How you choose to perceive and receive the outside world will impact how you feel about it.
