Who decides whether you will be happy or unhappy? The answer, YOU DO. When you awaken each morning you have two choices—to be happy or miserable. Unfortunately, many of us let people and circumstances put us in an unhappy state of mind.
The truth is, we’re as happy as we choose to be. Being miserable is easy to accomplish. Keep reminding yourself that your life is pathetic, and you can GUARANTEE yourself of being miserable. By same token you can say things are great, and you will find yourself feeling 100% better. Some people say if I had money, clothes, a better education, or a certain person in my life, I would be happy. But often when desired object becomes reality, they discover that isn’t what they wanted after all.
But there is hope, you can begin your journey of happiness right now. Every morning before you get out of bed, think only happy thoughts. Let a series of pictures cross your mind of each happy experience you will have that day. Savor their joy. Such thoughts will cause circumstances to turn out that way. Always affirm that everything will work to your advantage.
And for even more happiness, I challenge you to try this Joy Enhancer. For one week; Keep your heart free from hate and criticism. Live simply.
