Happiness is a personal decision

Is happiness a personal decision? How many times have you thought that the day could be totally miserable because it dawned rainy or suddenly turned gray? Surely it has happened to you at some point.

We could say the same thing about a day of intense heat as about a day when the clock has gone back; We seem willing to assume we are unhappy even over the most trivial things..

But being happy is a personal choice, we can find happiness even when we don’t have everything we want in life. You could tell me that this is a conformist attitude, for some it may seem silly, but if we look at it carefully, isn’t there more to be gained by being positive than by being negative?

decide to be happy

We are capable of being happy once we make the decision to be, When we assume that against everything that may happen, there will always be something that matters to us, that motivates us, that makes us happy to some extent, and “to some extent” is better than nothing, isn’t it?

These are turbulent times, bills can make our days bitter and love is not something we can consider under control.

Love is perhaps what can cause us the most unhappiness; either because we feel misunderstood by the person we love, or because we have realized that time passes and we cannot find that “better half.”

There is no such thing, loneliness is also something we can put aside, we can feel so lonely in the middle of a crowd, but We can work on feeling complete just by exploring ourselves.

Happiness is an attitude

It’s amazing how much it influences our mind in our feelings. When we decide to change what is wrong in our relationships, when we are honest that love is something complicated or that we should not try to change anyone but rather love because we already find our own happiness in it, that is when we truly get closer to happiness.

When we can smile even when things go wrong because in reality everything tends to change at some point, We have already made great progress towards feeling happy.

If love comes, why do we insist on finding defects in the relationship or the person? When we think about our own vulnerability we can face the fact that no one is perfect and that we can be happy with imperfections.

And if love doesn’t come, why insist on feeling bitter? Love happens like everything, in an unexpected way, perhaps we should pay more attention to our surroundings. Sometimes we look without perceiving, and what we are looking for may be closer than we think.

I choose to be happy

Today the gray day has dawned, you might think that there is nothing worse. In my case, autumn is usually the best of seasons; Although I confess, at times it makes me nostalgic, We always have some memory or some loss that a day without sun seems to insist on reminding us.

But I don’t usually do that anymore, I understood long ago that I could smile and accept the day if I set my mind to it, Many of the things that will give us happiness just wait for us to decide to live them…

Happiness is in our minds more than in our hearts. We have to change our way of seeing life… We have to live it as it comes because there will always be something that makes it better, even if you insist on believing that it doesn’t…

Happiness must be cultivated in our minds and we must be willing to be happy. Our attitude is fundamental. Believing that we can be happy and starting to observe the small details around us will help us.

Just having one more day to live it, isn’t that enough happiness? Why don’t you start being happy now? I choose to be happy!
