How Happiness Is Your Choice What is happy? What does it mean to BE happy, to have happiness? Often times we are unsure of a thing’s meaning, but we know what it isn’t and by removing the toxicity of it, the pureness of the thing will come forth. Happiness has nothing to do with anything on the outside of who you are – it’s an inside job and will always shine from the inside out. Relationships, material things and money may tap into and heighten the feelings of excitement, joy and happiness, but these things are not responsible for true happiness because once they leave, your happiness leaves with it and if your happiness is invested in someone or something it does not speak from your BE which is your identity and no-one has control over that except YOU. Conditional happiness isn’t lasting or authentic happiness. “Most people are about as happy as they decide to be.” – Abraham Lincoln Happiness really is a choice. Choose that no matter what happens, my mind will remain at peace and my spirit will always be encouraged. The way we choose to respond to the experiences we encounter in life, or the people whose path we cross have everything to do with our state of happiness. I’m reminded of a part from Lauryn Hill’s song, “Doo Wop”, ‘How you gonna win when you ain’t right within, uh-huh, come again!’ Look inside, that’s where your happiness is. Happiness is not hidden, you do not have to search for it. It resides on the inside of you, and you are the only one who can activate it through your decision to choose happiness over anything else that doesn’t serve your mind, spirit or soul. What makes you happy? What do you tell yourself that keeps you still in the midst of the storm? THAT is happiness and it is your right!
