I believe that we're as happy in life as we make up our minds to be.
-- Lucille Ball
About the Quote
Being happy is a choice we make. Joy comes from bring happy. We will experience momentary unhappiness; after all, who wants to lose a job or go bankrupt or get rejected?
However, after the moment passes we have the opportunity to chose to remain unhappy or to move forward to becoming happy again. At this point, being happy is a choice. Once we choose to be happy, we do those whings which bring us that happiness. Happiness is contagious, and others can find themselves happy just from the happiness we experience ourselves.
More importantly, by choosing to be happy we allow ourselves to move forward in life to encounter opportunities for progress and growth. This doesn't happen if we chose to stay unhappy and frustrated. Being unhappy is also a thif of time: it prevents us from taking advantage of opportunities and it delays our happinesswhen it comes back on its own.
