Choose to be happy

It’s a mindset. I haven’t really committed to it yet.

nothing is worth of sacrificing my choice to be happy.

when you smile, you can cheer up others.

although I have nothing at all now, I enjoy peace.

Take every day as a special day!
Just try!

My friend says it’s all about choice and I think it wonderful.

LIfe is too short to be sad.

It’s about attitude of life.

smile, laugh, balance, happy….

I’ve been feeling better lately. I think I’m making progress.

I still choose to be happy!!!!

it was a compelling start. I didn’t want to pursue it then. My friend just asked to attend a session of training then, bam! i am already debating. but the thing is, it really hard to continue when your school backlogs get its toll on you. you are faced with two things: the one you love doing and the one you need to value.

recently this academic year, i successfully passed the try-outs for the varsity team of the university(debate). with this, comes the possibility that i can compete in the nationals. but the thing is, i cannot attend trainings because of my academic workload.

the nationals are coming up and i’m still undecided. i want to join; but, i feel that i’m not fully equipped to compete.

Earlier this week I was in a major funk. But I called it off. I told myself to stop second guessing people and assuming the worst. I called a couple folks and talked about what was going on and resolved my own paranoia. It worked.

I’ve recently gone through a painful break up (Nov 1, 2006). My boyfriend of 5 years left me for another girl. Just within days of our break up, people have been seeing them together. I’ve also seen them together – holding hands, embracing etc. They are already a couple and are happy together.

Now, I have 2 options: Either I sulk around feeling sorry for myself or I can be happy for them, let go, count my blessings and be happy with my life.

I choose the latter. Happiness is a choice. No one can make you happy or miserable without your consent.

Choosing to be happy helped me a lot in dealing with the break up. Although I cannot say that I have fully moved on but it surely makes the process a lot easier. :)

but I haven’t been doing it lately. I was really really happy for a long time (being happy was my main goal in life) but something was missing. I fell in love, and that was it! But I forgot to try to be happy, and I haven’t been that happy lately. I’m very very very in love, which I wouldn’t give up for the world, but not truly blissful. So I’ve been working on this the last few day.

Osho said that one good thing to do is imagine that something really good is going to happen a few times in the day. Don’t expect it, just imagine it. After a few weeks (if you’re an imaginative person) you’ll feel a lot happier – and good stuff happens to you because of that, making you even happier!
