You Decide

What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

Most people believe happiness depends on circumstances which is so not true. Happiness is what you make it. Sure, conditions may cause alarm at times, but even those times can be made better by your thinking. If you think things are bad, things will be bad. However, if you think positive thoughts those same alarming conditions can be made a happy time, a growing time. Life is how you think it is. I’m a sole believer of, ‘It’s all in your head’.

Example: Someone is told tbey are sick or have a health issue. Shortly thereafter, that person is sick.

Someone is told how beautiful they are. That person begins to ooze confidence and that transforms into beauty.

Somone is told that this pill will ease pain. A placebo is given yet that person has no pain.

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. If we believe something to be true, our life produces it. Believing something produces. Try it and see.

How we look at something makes all the difference in the outcome and affect it has in our lives. Two people can look at the exact same thing. One looks and decides this thing that seems horrible is actually good for them. Although it may be heavy to carry, in the end it will produce good in their life so with a positive aura, life is good. Attitude makes all the difference. The other person has the exact situation appear and becomes so angry and depressed by the situation that life is terrible to bear. Negative thoughts draw negativity into our world. Positive thoughts draw positive outcomes.

So, happiness all depends on how you view something. Your circumstances have only the affect you allow them to. Think positive…
