Most people will be about as happy as they decide to be. So why do so many see to be filled with sorrow these days? Well, there is a lot to feel bad about because our world is filled with a bunch of bad mojo. You seem to take two steps forward, then fall three steps behind. You worry about employment and never really pay anything off due to taxes. Your children or a loved one gets sick or makes a special announcement that catches everyone off guard. I could go on and on because life is filled with as many pitfalls as it is highs.
So being happy is a choice. You can choose to live sadly, or to rejoice with great joy every day. You can pout about how terrible things are or smile even in the midst of a storm over victory that is on the horizon. It's all up to you.
So you can be happy if you choose to be. I have some tips on how you can make it happen:
-Count your blessings one by one. Don't lump them all together, but savor them as choice delights that have been served to you by a loving Savior.
-Remember where you've come from and Who brought you through. It wasn't chance or intelligence, it was His grace that is amazing.
-Reflect on what He is able to do with somebody like you who is willing to let Him have control of their life.
-Hold on in times of darkness knowing on the other side of the storm there is calm.
-Never forget who you belong to and what family you are a part of. A King's Kid knows there will be valleys, but also know he or she can walk through them.
Yes, the world is filled with chaos, but don't worry; be happy! If you choose to be happy so will others around you. Again, you may not smile all the time, but you will hold on to joy in those times. When others ask you why you are so happy knowing what you're facing you can answer with the words: "The joy of the Lord is my strength!" You are as happy as you decide to be!
