Happiness

"Each morning when I open my eyes I should say to myself: I, not circumstance, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it which one it will be. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't here yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

Got home late, but still, another sleepless night, my mind races in light of recent events. My friends were great and made tonight fun, but at the end of the day, I come home solo, and it's back to reality.

Yesterday, I felt worse than I have in a while. Someone I thought was someone who sincerely cared, I realized, surely doesn't and that's what was found to be so bothersome. It's funny how my frustration was not in whatever was done, but rather in a simple fact: ....you never know how much something can bother you until you realize that all the while someone meant a lot to you, you meant nothing to them. Yeah, it sucks. But in spite of whatever may have happened, I'm gonna be okay. Just fine.

Things always seem like you can never get through them while you re looking your bad circumstance in the face. Life is hard. But no matter what, or how hard, it is never a reason to stop trying to find your happiness. I lost sight on that recently, and I stopped trying to find what made me happy. I guess in a sense I thought it would just kind of come to me. Little did I know that Happiness is something acquired when and only when your heart is open to it. At that point, everything is a potential seed for happiness. But even the happiest of lives are not without the occasional rain cloud. Happiness is a choice that all of us have, but it does require effort at times. So if you re tired of being in that pity hole, then stop digging. Get up, and keep goin. As hard as it is, you're going to be fine. Trust me. You may find that your happiness will come from a door that you didn't even know you left open.
**************************************
As for those who hurt you, don't wish bad for them, only pray that someone never makes them feel the way they may have made you feel. The bible tells us to pray for those who mistreat us, when the disciples asked Jesus why do you pray for sinners, and those who scorn you, he stated that it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick, and that if we only pray for those who treat us well, than what reward is in that? Be the bigger person, let go of anything that will keep you from your happiness, and You'll be sure to find it along the path you once thought would be too difficult to walk along. Slow down, and take the time to enjoy life. Find you're happiness in the small things. We all deserve to be happy. Life is far too short to spend it pondering all the reasons why you're not.
**************************************
Every minute we spend angry or upset is just another sixty seconds of happiness that we deprive ourselves of that we can never have back. Remember: if you want happiness, find what makes you happy. It's not always in people or things, but sometimes, our happiness can be found within Us.... So never spend a minute more than you have to unhappy, cause the faster you refuse to be unhappy, the quicker your happiness will come!
**************************************
You can't buy happiness, but hey, worse comes to worst, you CAN buy a pint of Ben&Jerry and well, That's kind of the same thing.! Don't just pretend to be happy.... actually BE happy! You don't have to smile cause everything is okay, but laugh, cause although everything at that moment might suck, you know you're gonna be fine! After all, it takes Sunshine AND Rain to make a rainbow!!! So get through whatever bad may have happened, so that your good can come in to make that rainbow! Keep a positive attitude, and God first, and your happiness, no matter how lost, WILL find it's way back to you.

Just make sure you re waiting for it with open arms!





As Always...
