So You Want To Be Happy?

Most folks, when asked, will tell you that they want to be happy. Often times, though, our actions give a different answer. It is as if we become miserable out of habit and don’t even notice that the way we act, speak, and even live all help create an environment opposite of the one we want to live in.
There comes a time where you’ve got to say enough is enough. Stand up to yourself. Become your own inner drill sergeant. Hold yourself to a higher standard.
If you want to be happy you have to think happy, tell yourself you’re happy, listen to music that makes you happy, constantly be on the lookout for even the tiniest moments of joy and grab onto them as they appear!
Don’t just “wish” to be happy, then spend your days digging puddles of despair.
Look at all the people around you clinging to their misery – you’ve got to decide to hold just as tightly to your happiness.
Decide today to live in hope.
Declare that you are happy and build up from there.
Life is a journey no matter which path you take.
Isn’t it time you chose the scenic route?
Thank you for this post. It lifted my spirit.
A thankful heart is a happy heart. I try to cultivate a thankful attitude. I look forward to your Facebook posts every day.
Act as if…..
I’ve always found it to be true that acting happy ends up making you happy, just like being kind seems to bring out kindness in others most of the time.
What a great message! I’m dealing with a loved one in his last days because of cancer so some days it is a struggle to be happy!
I agree with you. You are as happy as you make up your miind to be.
You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process, is its own reward.
