Happiness is a choice.
But I didn't always feel this way.
When one is trapped in sadness, misery,unhappiness, its easy to create more of the same. We create more of what we have. I got stuck on the couch for many months this fall.... like almost all of them. Getting out of this loop is sometimes really hard. When we let it go to the extreme, this is what crashes our lives for us. I only got off the couch because I started to realize I was heading towards losing my job.
It really doesn't need to get this bad for you to choose happiness. To choose to experience a different reality. I am sure for many of you it never gets this bad for you. But it sometimes gets this bad for me. I refuse to accept the diagnosis of Bi-polar that a Psychologist once gave me, but I do understand fully I got some wild mood swings that can devastate my life.
We all have fears and we all have emotions that are considered negative. Life shit comes up and we need to deal with it, not push it under the carpet.... So I am learning. I am not saying choose happiness and avoid your responsibilities or your lessons on your path. I am saying that even in happiness there are tough times, but walking through them will elevate us to even greater heights of happiness. I was sitting in my pity party letting my fears destroy me.
I just had to take the first step towards happiness. It's like a bird riding the wind currents, timing is everything to carry you higher. But, sometimes you just cant see the down drift coming, and if you let it, that little drop is so thrilling to your belly that it doesn't matter that you dropped down a bit. So being high and happy has its dips too, its not like you will get frozen in happy (Like honest to Goddess I feared) Does that make sense?
