When at first you don't succeed at being happy.......try, try again.

Being optimistic in this old world is something of great difficult it seems.  Everyday people get road hard and put away wet (yes I just said that).  Responsibilities are piled as high as the Empire State building!  Life needless to say can be quite overwhelming.  In our business of life and it's responsibilities and choices.  One of those choices is the choice to be happy.  Not just happy but happy no matter what.

Some individuals tend to believe that the right circumstances, people and things can lead to a state of happiness.  I am sad for them.  Happiness is not based on an emotional high, it's based on the decision to stay positive even in the darkest of storms.

Negativity breeds negativity and the same goes for happiness.  Happiness births happiness.  You have the ability to control your thoughts.  As a matter of fact you have the responsibility to.  Think about all the times that you have wanted to scream at someone but you don't.  They may very well deserve your high pitched rant but you know that it will not help the situation if you do, so you don't.  Same can be said of happiness.  Life very well may be throwing everything and the kitchen sink at you but you can choose to catch the sink with a smile on your face.

Even the most optimistic people have hiccups in their happiness.  Hiccups are annoying while they last but they don't last forever.

So here is my challenge to you - choose happiness in the darkest of moments.  Choose to be positive when negativity tries to take over.

When at first you don't succeed at being happy.......try, try again.
