Happiness Is Your Choice
Author: Ryan Pearson
Happiness is a choice. We have the power to choose our
happiness at any time, no matter what our outer
circumstances look like.
Many people live their life in the search for happiness.
For many people this search continues their whole life, and
they never "find" happiness.
Part of the problem with the search for happiness is that
you are searching outside of yourself for your happiness.
Happiness does not lie in some outside circumstance,
person, place or thing. Happiness is found within you.
We have the power to choose happiness at any time. We all
have the power to choose happiness now. It doesn't matter
what is going on in your life, you choose how you are going
to let outside events and circumstances effect you.
Sometimes the circumstances that show up in our lives can
be difficult or sometimes very harsh. Even in the face of
very harsh circumstances we can choose peace, we can choose
forgiveness, we can choose happiness. It is always up to us.
In order for us to be able to use our power to choose
happiness, we need to know what happiness is. Happiness is
different for everyone. We are all unique individuals, with
our own likes and dislikes. I would highly encourage you to
get quiet and do some deep reflection on what happiness
looks like for you.
What does happiness feel like for you? Think back to times
when you felt incredible happiness. Perhaps it has been a
long time, maybe when you were a child. Close your eyes and
allow your mind bring you an image of when you were the
most happy in your life. What does that look like? What
does that feel like?
What can you do now in your life to feel that happiness?
A lot of people never attain true happiness because they
are constantly making it a future occurrence. People are
constantly saying things like:
"I'll be happy when I have a new job." "I'll be happy when
I meet my soul mate." "I'll be happy when so and so doesn't
work with me anymore." "I'll be happy when so and so
apologizes to me." "I'll be happy when I have a new home."
"I'll be happy when......"
These phrases constantly keep happiness at a future place.
You see, the way the Universe works is when you exude a
vibration of happiness then you attract the things that
will match that vibration. So as long as you depend on an
outside source in the future to bring you happiness, you
will probably never attract what it is that you want, that
you think will bring you happiness.
How can you experience happiness now?
It will require you to re frame your ways of thinking. It
will require you to focus on the things, even if it is only
a couple, that help you feel happiness now. Maybe it's your
children or a friend, or long walks. Focus on those things
with a powerful feeling of gratitude.
Gratitude may be your greatest tool for creating happiness
in your life now. When you begin to focus on what you are
grateful for, you can't help but feel happy.
What you focus on expands. The more you focus on what you
are grateful for, the more things will appear in your life
to be grateful for.
I would highly encourage you to take time every morning or
evening and sit and write what you are grateful. It doesn't
have to be a certain amount of things, just go with your
own flow. Starting off you may only write one or two
things. After a while, if you stay consistent with writing
every day, you will notice more and more things to be
grateful for. I would also encourage you to practice saying
thank you and acknowledging what you are grateful for
during the day. Just in your head say thank you or I am
grateful for whatever it is that you notice you are
grateful for. Maybe you are grateful for a smile that
someone gave you, or the fact that you have a car to
transport you, or the fact that you are alive.
Happiness can be yours now. It is up to you to make the
choice to claim your happiness. Remember, you are an
amazing person and you deserve to be happy.
