This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 27, 2007:
I do believe happiness is a choice. I think there are other circumstances which influence this choice - sometimes our body chemistry works against us, and life happenings too... But overall? Yes, happiness is a mindset that we can choose for ourselves.
How do we choose happiness? I think society wants us to be unhappy so we use more of our resources to gain our happiness. Our time, our energy, our money, our knowledge... But those things are only a means to an end. Happiness is looking around you and being present and grateful for what we have. It's saying THANK YOU to the universe for providing the basic necessities of life. It's helping others who aren't as fortunate as we might be.
Happiness is a choice and I try to make it daily. I hope you will too!
