Good day, amazing people of the Hive blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hiveghana community. I am so delighted to be participating in this week's prompt topic. Happiness Choice
When you hear that happiness is a choice, that doesn't mean you can't find things that make you happy all the time. Life is full of challenges, and those challenges are capable of leading to depression. In life we have a lot of challenges: family issues, heartbreak and loss of life. What this statement 'happiness is a choice' means is you have the right to choose how you handle issues in your life, and whatever choice you choose brings you closer to happiness.
Happiness comes from within. Happiness is not something you get only from material things; those things can only make you feel good for a while, but true happiness comes from within. Many times people think that happiness comes from having a perfect life.
Most people define happiness as whatever that makes you happy. I keep asking myself, what if that particular thing that gives you happiness is taken from you? That means your happiness has been cut. That is why I tell people that happiness can’t be measured by material things. I understand that they make life easy, enjoyable and comfortable. To be sincere, before now I used to think that happiness comes when you are living a comfortable life, not until I met one lady. She has everything that should make life easy and enjoyable, but she is not happier. That was when I realized that happiness comes from within, not from what you have.
Happiness is something that should come from within you. For someone like me, I always tell myself no matter what life turns on me, I will always be happy. I build this mindset that as far as there is life, surely there is hope. With that, I am happy and hopeful, to be honest. The way you live life and the way we respond to life is very important. As a human, you should always have this at the back of your mind: life can never be perfect; there will be trials and tribulations, and there will also be a time when things will not work as you plan. If happiness is based only on happy moments, that means you can only be happy when everything is working perfectly well. I always tell people even in the midst of trials and tribulations to try and be happy.
For me, happiness is a thing of choice, not because life is a bed of roses, but the way we respond to life plays a vital role in our lives. No human has full control over their life, but we can control our actions and mindset that will help to shape our happiness. Remember that true happiness can never be bought with money, but it comes from within.
This is my response to the weekly prompt topic, happiness choice.
