So many people believe that if they get x, y, or z they'll be happy. But the reality is, That's just not how happiness works.
You Never Know When It's your Last Day
We all know life is short. But our brain doesn't seem to fully get that. We seem to think that despite us seeing people pass away around us. That it won't ever be our turn.
Would you want others to look back and see you being a person who was always unhappy? Would you want to look back at your life, And realized that those moments, When you were too consumed with everything wrong with your life, Could have had a positive and happy day?
We all have bad days, But every day doesn't need to be a bad day. Even for those of us who are less lucky than others. There are always things to be grateful and happy for. Despite what seems to be going on overall.
It Makes Life Easier
When we are positive and happy a lot of the time, it often makes it easier for us to get those better opportunities.
People will also want to be around you more.
The other day, I was at work, And I just felt grumpy.
I just didn't have the energy I'm normally used to, And for some reason, I was just in a bad mood.
My coworkers noticed, And one of them pointed out, That I was being "annoying" because I wouldn't "stop complaining".
I'm lucky enough to have coworkers who are incredibly straightforward. But In many cases, if you are a negative person people will avoid you. I'm grateful my coworker said something Because once I was aware of it, I started focusing on what I could do to put myself in a better mood. I thought about how thankful I am for my cool part-time job And my silly coworkers who have the best jokes.
All the sudden, I went from having a bad day to a decent day. Which made the shift go by faster, So I could get home and put my grumpy self to sleep!
Everyone is negative sometimes, But once you figure out why, And what you can do about it. Things start to change really fast. You may realize that many of the reasons you feel grumpy Are actually really silly.
You Won't Be Happy With More
If you don't choose to be happy despite your circumstances, you'll never be happy at all.
It doesn't matter if you have 10 million dollars and a new house, You'll never have that feeling of happiness that you expect to have.
Your happiness level comes from you, Go for a run, Drink some water! Take care of yourself, And choose to be happy!
