We Can CHOOSE To Be HAPPY
Friday, August 24th, 2007
Yes, happiness is indeed a choice. We can choose to be happy, or we can choose to be unhappy. We are the one who decide.
Robert H. Schuller:
“If It Is Going To Be, It Is Up To Me!“
Yes, there are many things in life we cannot control or change, but we can make the best of those we can to make a different.
Art Clanin :
“Pain and suffering is inevitable, being miserable is optional.“
Well said indeed. Regardless of how bad the current situation or how much difficulties we are going through now, we can CHOOSE to make our future different.
Many people choose to grumble, blame, or curse because they feel that they are “victims” of injustice or unfairness. Not much positive results would come out of these negative emotions and thinkings. The “victims” will only continue to suffer more bad things.
On the other hand, we should learn from and follow those who CHOOSE to think and react positively to all things good or especially bad, that happen in their life. Someone wise once said, “even if we have to be a beggar, be the best beggar around!!!”
Despite of the many things, people or situations in our life that we are not able to change or control, maximize those that we are able to change or improve upon. Make the best of all available resources to our benefit and the benefit of others. Look for or create as many WIN/WIN situations as possible.
For example, if we cannot change other people, we can change ourself. If there are people who make our life difficult or are the sources of our miseries, we can choose to leave them or to avoid them or to minimise our contacts with them. Or if it is not possible to “avoid” these people, we can CHOOSE to accept them for who they are and learn to adapt to them. It might not be easy for us to “live” among them, but if we could master how to do it, we will be a much stronger person. Someone wise once remarked, “what never kills me, makes me stronger”.
Our decision and choice to change our mindset and how we look at things, people, situations or life in general, will change our destiny. The moment you understand and decide that you can INDEED take a lot of positive steps and do a lot of constructive stuff to change your situations and life, your destiny is already changing to a much better and happier one. Our mindset is one of the most powerful direct influence and force on our “wheel of karma” - how and what we think will affect which direction our “karma wheel” is turning and whether our life gets better and better or worse and worse. Yes, the moment you have a positive mindset and CHOOSE to make a positive different in your life … your “wheel of fortune” is already turning slowly but definitely towards a better future for you.
