someone said something to me recently that has been on my mind a lot lately.
"happiness is a choice," they said.
now this is not a new concept to me. i've heard it before. but for some reason this time i heard it it changed me a little bit inside.
there are some who do not believe happiness is a choice. that something out of our control can make us sad and unhappy. most things in my life are out of my control. and sometimes i feel i have a lot to be unhappy about. but if i believe that something or someone can make me unhappy then i am powerless to whatever is going on around me.
but oh no, my friend. this is not so. even though most of the time i cannot change the circumstances around me i have the power to change how i feel. i can choose. this is a precious gift that i believe is given to us. such a blessing.
isabelle s happy 99.9% of the time.
my children teach me by example everyday.
