"Happiness is a choice, NOT a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you, it can only come FROM you." -Ralph Marston
When you wake up in the morning, you have two choices: be happy or be miserable.
What do you choose?
Automatically, we all choose happy but what happens when the day doesn't start like you hope? What if your day starts out by spilling something or you forget something you needed for the day? Do you still choose to be happy?
That's where happiness becomes a choice. We are not in control of what happens to us throughout the day, but we are in control of how we handle the situations.
When something bad happens, if we are to say, "it's okay, I'm not going to let this ruin my day," then that's exactly what will happen. If you just let these little things upset you, you aren't choosing to let them go and be happy.
Just think of how much better your days would go if we took every bad situation and changed our attitudes to be positive? Would that change how most of your days turned out? Would you have fewer "bad" days?
Happiness is what happens when you decide to look past the idea of things being "perfect" and embrace the imperfectness of the beautiful life you were blessed with.
