How Happy Are You?

"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
~Abraham Lincoln


How happy are you? It really is your choice to be happy or not. Why are you unhappy? Did you give someone else the power to make you unhappy? Why? When you realize that EVERYTHING in life is a choice, and YOU get to choose how to react to it, life becomes easier.

Eleanor Roosevelt said that "Nobody can make you feel anything without YOUR permission."

We often forget that WE have to power to react or act any way we desire. Just because someone flips you off for driving slow doesn't mean that you need to react the same way. In fact, we should bless them because they are so important...

Aristotle said that "Nothing is good or bad, except our thinking makes it so."

Think about that for a while. We get to decide what is good and bad. We decide, not someone else, not your boss, your teachers, your mom, not me. YOU GET TO DECIDE!

"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

DECIDE today to make up YOUR mind to be happy!
