Plenty of times in my life, I’ve been unhappy.
Can I get an amen?
I’m a super happy & upbeat person, generally, but we all have our moments.
When I’m not happy, because I’m sad, or angry, or scared, or anxious, or whatever the emotion be that day, I’m not happy because I choose not to be happy.
No one has ever forced me to be unhappy. That’s not possible. We are the only people who can make that decision for ourselves.
We all have this *power*, this power to be happy, but we don’t take advantage of it nearly enough.
Every morning when we open our eyes and get ready to roll out of bed and live our lives, there’s a choice to be made.
Am I going to be happy today?
because that’s what happiness is. No matter what your circumstances are, no matter what goes on, it’s always a choice. Everyday, we get the privelege of choosing to be happy!
“No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.” {Barbara de Angelis}
We’re all in control of our own lives. We have to decide if we are going to cultivate them.
We all have the power to foster the growth & happiness of our lives. That’s an amazing thing.
Just know–every day is a new day. Maybe yesterday was a bad day…and that’s okay. We all have bad days. But the great thing about a bad day is that’s all it is: one day. Tomorrow doesn’t have to be bad just because yesterday was. You make tomorrow what you want it to be.
It doesn’t always seem easy, because of all the many things that go on in our lives, good and bad, but it truly is simple. Seize each new day! If you want to be a happy person, it starts tomorrow. You don’t have to wait.
so don’t. Really.
It’s never too soon or too early to start living your life exactly the way you want to.
Your happy life starts RIGHT NOW.
Be happy today, sweet friend! There’s nothing to it. : )
