What if I told you that you have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. You would probably say that I''m crazy. 1. I''m not crazy and 2. Happiness is a choice.
You can''t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn''t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband''s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within Josh Jacobs Jersey , it can''t be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same away you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that''s what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn''t buy a pair of shoes that you don''t like or that don''t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don''t make us feel good?
Well most people don''t realize that you can choose feeling happy over feeling angry or upset about something. It''s not wrong to feel angry or upset but dwelling on it and letting the anger simmer for too long can have bad results.
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. You end up acknowledging your anger and moving on instead of harboring those emotions until there''s a flare up. We choose our feelings, no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions - we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain Clelin Ferrell Jersey , we are giving them our power.
What about those who irritate us or make us mad? We have the power of choice but most times we react out of anger. Instead of taking a mental time out and knowing that what that person said is about them we unconsciously choose to react. The reaction is usually out of anger or fear. It''s a re-action, not an action.
How do we stop this behavior? We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does. Reacting is responding to someone else''s actions. What we need to do is act on our own accord and not let the actions of others influence us. By doing that we stay conscious of our own thoughts and feelings and not let what others do to us affect our moods.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don''t dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts Derek Carr Jersey , feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

selena@ Is there now Bo Jackson Jersey , or has there been, a person or two in your life that you have difficulty in maintaining a civil relationship with at times? It may be your spouse or lover; it may be a friend or a superior at work. We usually say "I have a love-hate relationship with this person."
Fight OR Flight; Attack OR Evade; Right OR Wrong; All OR Nothing; Win OR Lose - all are a form of what we can call "The Philosophy of Fear and Confrontation." When we believe that a potential outcome has only two possible alternatives we come from a place of scarcity thinking and invariably add a good deal of stress to the system being addressed and limit what is possible.
In every interpersonal conflict both sides wind up wounded, albeit one side perhaps more than the other. Whenever a person feels that you must be wrong in order for me to be right, we invariably denigrate not only the other person''s point of view Hunter Renfrow Jersey , but their overall character as well. We move away from attacking the issues at hand, and get involved in attacking each other. Arguing between right and wrong is often simply an excuse to prove myself somehow superior to you. "With my superior insight, with my superior intellect and knowledge, with my superior position in the world Oakland Raiders Jersey , I look to show you how your perception of reality is incorrect." When I think of you and your opinions as being somehow inferior to me and my opinions, it is no wonder that you are not willing to agree with the opinions I put forth. In order to agree with my opinions, you would have to be willing to believe that you are somehow inferior to me.
When engaging in conflict resolution with others, staying locked into grappling between one of two possible outcomes requires that we both shut down our ability to notice additional alternative realities. When two individuals are locked into a confrontational mode of exchange Leonard Williams Jersey , both parties to the conflict lose the possibility of acquiring information that might offer generative solutions that either side has yet to think of. We lose the possibility of understanding that in some important way, our limited range of thinking tends to make both of us somehow "wrong." Or, to say it another way, we fail to realize that "We are both Jamal Adams Jersey , both wrong and right, at the same time." We lose touch with the fact that given new sources of information, both of us might come to a different opinion.
Often, the first step in successful conflict resolution requires that you acknowledge that your philosophy of fear and confrontation limits your ability to notice how a different way of thinking and a different way of using your body Sam Darnold Jersey , would lead to a much wider field of possibilities.
You are absolutely right happiness is something that comes from inside and it depends on us how we see things to be happy in our life. I believe we just don’t overthink and don’t be worried all the time. As we know very well that most of the things are not in our control so juts chill and stay happy.
