Happiness

Some people seem to be happy all of the time. Others seem to be permanently grumpy.

People with very little can be happy, people with much can be distinctly unhappy.

So what makes some people happy and others not?

It is very simple. The happy people have chosen to be happy.

If we choose to be happy, then everyone around us feels happier.

If we are grumpy, then people around us aren't quite as comfortable in our presence.

If we wait for something good to come along before we feel happy, then we could be in for a very long wait.

But if we are happy to start with, then nice things will seem to come along more frequently - or so it will seem.

So instead of going through life waiting for happiness to find us, choose to be happy instead.

Choose to be happy and the whole world somehow becomes a much better place to be.
