Choosing Happiness

Many people feel and believe the number one goal in life is to be happy. Happiness doesn't come easy to all people. Some people always seem happy and care free in comparison to others who always seem bitter, depressed or angry. People may wonder what causes these individuals to be so different. A few may say it's DNA, life experience while others may say it's their choice.

It is their choice; people have to learn that there is a certain will power we all have over our feelings and how we respond to the things, circumstances and situations around us. It's not an easy concept to understand, kind of like attraction, but once you begin to practice choosing happiness over anything else it becomes clearer.

When choosing happiness you want to avoid things that make you sad or that are frustrating. When facing unavoidable circumstances that make you feel this way, always look at the brighter side. You can choose to use every negative experience as positive learning experiences thus further fueling happiness. More importantly you don't want to dwell on the things that hurt you or make you feel depressed. DEAL with them but don't DWELL on them.

If you are constantly worrying, feeling resentful or guilty about something then you have to find a way to resolve these feelings because these feelings indicate you are dwelling, subconsciously or consciously, on the issues that caused them.

Make sure that you are expressing how feel. If something is causing you to feel deprressed, angry or anxious you want to communicate that. Communication is one important key factor in letting things go.

You also want to pay attention to the company you keep because if you're around negative people, or people who are continuously putting you down then you may want to remove these toxic individuals and incorporate more uplifting, encouraging and supporting people in your life.

Remember your attitude directly impacts how you feel. Try to keep a good, healthy attitude about the things in life you experience and you will feel happy because it's your choice.
