Your life is a result of your choices. If you don’t like your life, it’s time to make some better choices. We can think about things, turn them over in our minds a million times, play out possible scenarios, but really when it comes down to it, you have to go with your heart and move forward.
Every decision brings with it some good, some bad, some lessons, and some luck. The only thing that’s for sure is that indecision's steals many years from many people who wind up wishing they’d just had to courage to leap.
On today’s “Finding Happiness Series”, we’d be looking at important choices happy people make.
Happy people do not get angry and bitter when things don’t go their way. They have their mind made up that circumstances may go either way, they know that there are always ups and downs in life but they are always positive and always look ahead.
I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings. Even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people too. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.
Aristotle once said “It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth and wisdom. Most of the successful men we look up to are early rises. Every morning we have two choices: Continue to sleep with dreams or Wake up and chase your dreams.
The choice is completely ours. Most of us are faced with the choice to either stay in bed an hour longer or get up early. Faced with that choice, happy people often opt to get out of bed.
You will never be able to live a happy life or achiever what you are capable of if you’re too attached to things you’re supposed to let go of. Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from the negative. Too many belongings and unnecessary clutter will only drag you down and stress you out. Try to simply your life. Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece after all.
Learn to give more and expect less. You’ll be happier that way. Giving can be as beneficial to the giver, as it is to the receiver. Helping other people can have an amazing effect on your own mood and it serves as a reminder to us, just how fortunate we are to be able to help those in need.
The best thing you can do for you is live a life that’s fulfilling and do all the things that make you happy. Always find time for the things that make you feel happy to be alive. Happy people have made the choice to be happy and stay happy.
They actively seek out the things that they know will help them stay that way like taking up new hobbies, exercise, socialise and so on. They’ve made happiness a priority and you should do the same!
Always remember that the secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of every day.

last night I was upset about my life , now I feel better reading your post ☺
I'm glad it made you feel much better 💌
I totally agree with what you said but at the same time, it's a bit hard to create and maintain such a positive attitude every day.
No matter the circumstances, some days are tougher than others.
Indeed, you do have to make happiness a priority. I am just learning this..baby steps :P
Hey @szuri, I agree with your perspective towards this. It's really not an easy task to create and maintain a positive attitude every day, we are sometimes faced with circumstances that hinder that or we are placed in a situation that's not very favorable. Indeed we need to strive to make happiness a priority. Thank you
You are a real psychologist. An excellent article.
Thank you very much!
Being happy is a matter of choice..there are instances which u r happy doing, but for others, its not.
At the end of the day, it shows if u r happy or not.
Happiness is a gift from God
Your view on this is spot on!......Happiness is truly a gift
