HAPPINESS

Happiness is a choice. You either choose to be happy or not. People choose to be happy, and happy people are uncommon decision makers. They have chosen deliberately to focus on the good side of life. They are not blind to thorns that life often throws to all on this side of eternity. They have chosen to focus on the roses, the good experiences instead.

Most people think that happy people are those experiencing wonderful moments, uncommon financial rewards and deep love from others. Often the opposite is true. Some of the happiest people have experienced the deepest sorrows, tragedies, disappointments, and uncommon battles of life. At some point, they made a decision to be a happy person. It is far more than the “personality God gave you at your birth.” 

Happy people made the decision to be happy.

Happy people have an ability to find the good in any situation.

Happy people are optimistic

Happy people are proactive

They keep an open mind

They are happy to learn from others

They are adaptable and embrace change.

Happy people energize others to a higher level of productivity and enthusiasm. “We will make it happen!” the unhappy often say, “That’s impossible.” Happy people create a climate of expectation, not depression.

Money cannot give you happiness. Pleasures cannot give you happiness. You have to be happy to enjoy money. Unhappy people are in pursuit of happiness and believe that something would bring about their happiness.

How long will you continue to postpone your happiness? First you say the day I graduate from Secondary school I’ll be the happiest man on earth, then you graduate and you are still not happy; then you say when I get admission into the university, I’ll be the happiest man on earth, you get into school  and you are still unhappy; when I graduate from the university I’ll be the happiest man on earth, you graduate and you are still not happy; when I get a job I’ll be happy, you get a job and you are still unhappy; when I get married I’d be the happiest man on earth, you get married you are not yet happy; when I bear my first child I’ll be very happy, you bear children and you are not happy; when they become university graduates I’ll be the happiest man on earth, they become graduates and you still are not happy, you keep on postponing your happiness. When will you ever be happy?

Happiness is a choice. You can be happy in a good or bad situation. In most cases the happiest people on earth are those that face even more terrible situations.

If you are unhappy and decide to be happy the best guide you can ever get to living a happy life is the word of God (the book of truth). You can be happy decide now.
