HAPPINESS

Happiness is a muscle.  It must be exercised daily.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t just wake up happy.  But, when I do wake up, I tell myself that I will be happy.  I have to tell myself all day long that I will be happy:  Because I am so blessed and have everything I need.  I am happy.  I believe it with all my heart.

Now, sometimes I let doubt creep in, like on my day off, and realize there are no days off.  Happiness is a lifestyle and you can never let yourself get away from it or take a day off.  Who would want to, when you think about it.  Choose to be happy…all the time.

Now some will say, but what do you have to be sad about. You have everything.   A person’s life is no accident.  It may look perfect from the outside, but believe me, they are living with the choices they made and no one else knows what torment lies within.  We all make wrong choices from time to time, but also we are human and we can forgive ourselves and choose happiness and peace, and your life will be just that.  No one person has better luck or less luck or whatever, than anyone else.  It is their CHOICES that form their life.

Wake up in the morning and believe that you have the right to be happy.  But with that, also believe and pray for everyone else to be happy.  Happiness and peace are to me, the greatest gifts GOD has given us.
