Happiness is a Choice

It is and always will be, yours to decide.

In my longest run, I have always believed that I can only achieve happiness if I can be content. The meaning which resided in me that stability with life would depend on — financials, emotions and be surrounded with people who understand and love you. I thought that working hard and achieving all those could bestow upon me the genuine happiness I’ve always dreamed and wished for ever since.

Then came a time, I prayed to God and reflected in life. I saw a different point of view, wherein the life you want to have is just a matter of the choices you make. Whenever you are facing a dilemma or an ordeal, you always have to decide to look for the brighter side of everything. We all make mistakes but when we do, we should take it positively. We choose to be optimistic. We choose to shoo negativity away. We choose to be happy.

Happiness is a feeling. We have all sorts, right? There’s sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and a lot more. We can control our feelings. We are the captain of our emotions. It is for us to decide how we will take and react to a situation. Don’t let it overwhelm you, we have the ability to shift from being sad and overcome it with laughter and smiles.

We can create our own happiness. Let us choose to be happy, always.
