Happiness is a Choice
Someone once said that attitude is everything. I briefly want to encourage you today to think of an attitude that very few people think about, but an attitude that not only is good for you but blesses others and turns you into a people magnet.
Happiness!
One of the great attitudes we all need to have in order to achieve success is Happiness. Happiness does not happen by accident but is a choice each one of us makes. If you are not a happy person, it is by choice.
You have full control over your life and the decisions you make. For example, some people think money is happiness. However, they’re absolutely miserable with what they do on a daily basis to make money. The question then is, would you rather be a wealthy miserable man/woman or a happy man/woman. Not that I did not say happy poor man/woman. This is because I believe you cannot be happy and be poor at the same time.
Most of us look at people and think they have everything we have always wanted in life, and that is why they are happy and so we strive to be like them. These things may be wealth, possessions, status, or even a position at work. What we fail to realize though is that these things don’t create happiness. Happiness is a choice.
If you watch the news, it will not be too long before you find out that there are many people who have wealth and high status who are completely miserable. They’re lonely, divorced, on drugs etc. This is because happiness comes from within and not from possessions.
I have heard many wealthy people, one of them being Oprah, who have said that wealth does not make you happy. Never the less, most people feel that they should first be given the money so they can make that conclusion themselves. Why should one want to re-invent the wheel when they can learn from those that have gone before them?
My encouragement to you is that you start developing an attitude of happiness. It will do you more good in the end.
Stay blessed and keep the faith!
