I believe "being happy" is not just a feeling, but a state of mind. I see it as a perspective through which one can choose to view life. And the perspective we choose to view life ultimately affects the way we perceive it.
I had quite a terrible time about two weeks ago. I think I shared it and you read it. ...either way, moving on... And I think it was particularly the perspective I chose to view things that resulted in my overall feeling that week and therefore felt like the whole world was against me, when in reality, I chose to ignore the little things that I should have been grateful about.
Maybe, if I had been positive and chosen to focus more on the glass being half full and not half empty, things may have turned out much better. In all, I am saying a grateful heart finds happiness from the little things...
Yes, of course... Happiness is also a state of mind, it affects our mindset. We tend to be more enthusiastic and positive in a happy mood.
Really? I'm not sure I did. Either way, I'm sorry about whatever must've happened. Do not beat yourself up Jay, it's completely normal for humans to lose positivity. There are some situations in life that makes it almost impossible for us to remain positive. Not everyone has mastered that, I haven't either. But I'm working towards it.
I'm sure you will too and it's good that you realize your wrong choices. That's what matters. And yes, I agree... Being grateful for even the littlest things is a way to find true happiness.
Oh, you didn't see it? I actually thought you did and left a comment. Here it is, if you are interested.
Ohh I actually saw this post, I upvoted it and just as I was about to read it, I think I got distracted along the line. So I couldn't drop a comment.
That happens to me a lot. One minute you're on this tab, and the next you're on YouTube or something.
