Happiness is your Choice :-)

Hi Friends,

After months I am writing here today.

One of my friends got married recently. Before marriage she had so much to complain about her House Owner, her boss, her relatives and who not? She was never happy. There was no day where she was happy. She never accepted/recognized that she was happy.

Today, after her marriage which is quite few months, I met her. My hope was that she’ll say she is Happy. I wished at least her marriage life should make her feel Happy. But she feels she was happy before her marriage. Though I hoped that she would feel happy, this reply of hers was not a surprise to me. I knew she can never be Happy in her life because she never opted to choose Happiness over other things.

Yes! Happiness is your choice. Understand that the greater part of your misery or unhappiness is determined not by your circumstances, but by your attitude.  A happy person is not a person who is always in a good situation, but rather a person who always has a good attitude in every situation. No one is perfect and thus no one’s Life is. After all, Being Happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It just means you choose to be happy by looking beyond imperfections.

People may try to put you down or hurt you. Smile at those who often try to begrudge or hurt you; show them what’s missing in their life and what they can’t take away from you.  Doing so doesn't mean forgetting or giving in; it means you choose happiness over hurt. Be determined to be positive.

Never have criteria or conditions to feel Happy.  Remember! Happiness is a Journey and not the Destination. Never expect others to give you happiness. It is already within you. You have to just choose it. You cannot keep everyone around you happy. But, you can try your best. In this pursuit of trying, never forget to keep one person happy.

That is “YOU”.

Happiness starts with YOU

Not with your relationships

Not With your Job

Not with Money

But With YOU.
