Happiness Is A Choice

I had a full week last week!  Had to attend to some clients’ concerns and assist branch managers regarding the product I’m handling.  But last week was much less hectic and exhaustive than the past few weeks.  You know I actually made this post last Friday, but I think Friendster’s network got haywire that’s why I’m posting it again today.

Well, last Tuesday, my officemates and I had a little chat while having lunch.  One asked what makes a person happy?  There must be a reason why?  A colleague commented that happiness is a choice.  That whatever circumstance or situation you are in, it is up to you to decide whether you’ll just sulk or forget about it and be happy.

I was surprised when I heard them saying that I look happy and that it’s as if I don’t have any problems. Well, who doesn’t have problems?  You and I have various hurts that needs to be healed, problematic situations that needs to be addressed and issues to deal with.   No one is spared from this known fact in our lives.  For me, what matters most is how you deal with these things.  How you’ll react to situations confronting you.  How you’ll tell yourself to be strong and confident amidst the trials that go your way.  I believe in positivism!  If one door closes, another one opens.  I also believe, that if you have a closer relationship with Him.  You’ll never go astray…  You’ll always feel blessed and happy because whatever happens, He’s always there beside you.  Even if the whole world turns down on you, still you know that there’s someone watching over you and guiding you.

What do you believe in?  Are you happy right now? Or do you see yourself as problematic, depressed and pathetic?  I tell you, happiness is a choice!  There are plenty of reasons why you should be happy and thankful.  Start making your list now. Maybe, the first item there would be:  I’m happy because the sun shone upon me. = )
