Good morning! It is dark and wet outside but thats no reason to stay in bed! Lets get up and make sure that today is another great day, may be a day where you can look and see the choices that you need to make on the road to happiness. I have meet two types of people in this world, those who choose to be happy and those who choose to be unhappy. The wisest, strongest and most loving people you will ever meet are those who feel the pain of failure, rejection, defeat and heartbreak, but somehow find the way out from the depths of despair. These kinds of people have a sense of appreciation, sensitivity and empathy for others and an overall understanding of life. They are happy. Unhappiness lies in the breach between what we think we need and what we currently have. The greater part of our happiness or unhappiness depends on our outlook toward challenges that come our way. We all have one life to live and it’s a personal choice how we choose to live it. So what should you do regarding your happiness choice? Choose not to blame people for your unhappiness. When things go downhill, we tend to blame others for how we feel. We blame them for hurting us or leaving us or simply not making enough of an effort. The reality is, you are in control of your own feelings, you choose to feel the way you do. Once you realise this, you will start to take responsibility for your emotions, beginning with your confessions and ending with your lifelong lessons. Choose to keep trying even if you have failed countless times. I can’t even remember how many times I have failed. I kept trying and trying, and eventually, it got to the point that I felt defeated. The thing about life is that nothing comes easily. We must work hours, days, years to get to where we want to be. I’ve learned that it’s better to try and fail than not try at all. One day, all your hard work and efforts will be worth it. Choose to let someone you love go. It hurts to know you loved someone so much, you had to let him or her go. Whether the person broke your heart or vice versa, you simply knew it wasn’t healthy to have this person in your life any longer. But, isn’t that what love is all about? You can’t force someone you love to stay with you if he or she doesn’t want to do so. Just because someone is not physically in your life doesn’t mean he or she isn’t on your mind or in your heart. Letting go of someone is NOT the end of life. Rather, it is the beginning of an understanding that love sometimes leaves but never without a lesson. Choose not to judge people. We all follow different moral codes, so when we do meet someone who does not fit our individual standards and beliefs, we pass judgments without knowing the whole story. Accepting a person is a choice. Choose not to feel alone and miserable. It’s easy to look around and notice people around you thriving. But, let’s dig a little deeper. Life is not perfect and the people who live it aren’t, either. We all struggle in our own ways. Just like life, these feelings are temporary, and it’s up to you to change your outlook. Someday, all the pieces will come together, good things will come your way, even if things don’t turn out how you want. Choose not to live in the past. Have you ever replayed the past over and over again? You keep trying to compare your past to your present, but the thing is, while it’s great to look back, the key is the present. Living in the moment but knowing life is a mystery is what makes life… life. The secret to happiness is allowing things to unfold on their own. Let go of your past and set yourself free. Stop comparing everything and everyone to your past. Keep an open mind and heart to new people, relationships and experiences. Choose not to be afraid. Free yourself of all fears. Don’t be afraid to lose something or someone. The very moment you let go of fear, you will find freedom and confidence. Choose to forgive. We are bound to make mistakes and hurt the people we love. After all, we are human. I have learned that the pain is a part of growing stronger and wiser. Perfection does not exist and when we realise that, we will start to forgive ourselves. Most importantly, forgiveness is also the simple awareness that there is actually nothing that requires forgiving. We are perfectly imperfect humans who hurt, love, grow and learn. Choose not to have expectations of certain people. If you choose this, you will not be disappointed. As human beings, we are competitive and selfish. We are all in it for ourselves, which is why the only person from whom you should expect things is yourself. I have learned to create expectations regarding how I choose to live my life. You might not always get what you want, but you will get what you expect. Choose to live life. You may recall times when you have broken down, and it feels like everything bad happening all at once. You may have felt so low, to the point that you wondered whether life was worth living. Let me tell you something, you are blessed with this unpredictable life and it is up to you how you choose to live it. Life can be horrid or beautiful. It’s bold or scary. It’s sad or happy. It’s what YOU make of it. Remember, the sign of a happy person is a choice he or she chooses to make despite the struggles he or she faces. I choose to be happy. What do you choose? youtu.be/v1l3JbBRpA8
