Who the heck wouldn’t want to be happy in the first place, it is one of life’s priceless treasures, but not only that, being happy does have a significant impact on your fate. Think about it for a minute. If you were to go around in a gloom all the time, do you think great things would come your way? No. Seriously, who wants to befriend a gloomy person, hire a gloomy person, or marry little lone date a gloomy person?
Being happy is a positive attitude and everyone knows a positive attitude negates negativity. Positivity shows ambition, desire, dreams, hopes, future, and inspiration. A positive person generates positivity and inspires others. A positive person is happy. This doesn’t mean that the happy person is dripping in gold, driving the fanciest car, independently wealthy, or living in a mansion. It simply means that they know who they are and are content with that. They know that they can achieve whatever it is they need to achieve as long as they stay positive and surround themselves with likewise people. If that cannot change someone’s fate, I would like to know what could!
An unhappy life only leads people to take unnecessary risks that never provide a solution to the problem, being unhappy. For example, entering into an extramarital affair when your marriage hits a lull, or buying a fancy car just because you feel it will feel a void or give you a lift in life, or moving into an expensive house on a day old bread store budget to attempt to feel like you “fit in” somewhere. Being happy isn’t seeking out others to make you happy, having possessions, or trying to “fit in”.
One will never find true happiness by taking unnecessary risks or filling up their lives with useless items. Eventually they will realize that the unhappiness they were trying to drown still exists. This type of behavior just manifests itself to a never-ending cycle of looking for more, asking for more, and feeling more and more alone, confused and dissatisfied. Happiness is in you, you just have to be willing to search it out within yourself first.

I not only have an attitude, I know how to use it! But you are right, gloomy people are a drag.
ReplyDeleteI agree, happiness comes from within. I you ain't got it there, no one else can help. Sometimes you have to dig to find it, but it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a toughie. I decide to be happy and I'm fine as long as I don't have to put up with anyone else's stuff. I believe there are people out there who live to aggrevate the rest of us. They are everywhere, on the road, at work, in the stores, in restaurants, even the movie theaters.
ReplyDeleteI think being happy allows you to focus on more important things than just your own feelings.
ReplyDeleteI believe that too. If you are not happy with yourself, you will never get anywhere in life. Everything you get involved with will go south eventually. You really have to decide to be positive and then do it.
ReplyDeleteHappy be the journey, not the destination.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it changes it at all. It's easier to accept what you don't fight.
