You Can Choose To Be Happy

Life will never be perfect, and no matter how much you try to fix things on your own, you will always encounter uncertainties along the way. Remember that we live in a broken world. Even if you already exerted so much effort to protect yourself, life will still throw challenges. That’s why never depend your happiness in your situation. Because what’s happening around you is something that you can never control. So why not focus on things that you can manage, and that’s yourself.  You can choose to be happy even if you are facing problems right now. You just have to open your eyes and look at the good things behind your circumstances.

True happiness is found within. It’s not something that you can find from the people around you or from the good things that happened in your life. You may think that your loved ones made you feel so happy, but it’s something that will not last forever. One way or another, the people around you may disappoint you because they are just human, and they also commit mistakes in life. That’s why don’t wait for something to happen before you allow yourself to experience it. You deserve to be happy right now. Yes, there are many hindrances around you, but choose to appreciate the blessings you receive. And only then will you begin to feel the joy of the Lord within.

It’s a matter of perspective. Maybe you keep on focusing on the negative things you encountered. That’s why you think that happiness is something that you will never experience again. Pain may try to stop you from seeing the great things in your life, but you always have the choice. Yes, acknowledge your emotion, but never push yourself down. Please give yourself the chance to take some rest and be happy. Change your thoughts. Instead of thinking of the painful moments, try to reminisce the good memories you had and choose to thank God for allowing you to experience those good times. Look at the brighter side of your story because God has been pouring out so many blessings in your life, but you fail to discover it because you focus on the bad things.

Pray that God will teach you how to be happy and feel satisfied with the things that He already provided for you. Ask Him to give you a humble heart that’s always willing to acknowledge His presence even in the midst of brokenness and pain. He will give you enough strength, and the things that He provided you along the journey are more than enough for you to feel happy.
