Choose Happiness

Your happiness is your choice. You can choose to be happy. Whether you have what you want or not, choose happiness. Whether you have more or you have less, choose happiness.

Be happy. You are not happy because everything is perfect in your life. You are happy because you are alive. You are happy because you are a chosen one. You are happy because you still have a day or two to go after dreams. You are happy because you are not sick.

From now on, no matter what you are going through, do not blame it on others. Instead, choose happiness. It is not to say that you are not going through something. You are. You know that happiness is not about what is going on in your life. You know that happiness is about taking care of yourself, how you are treating yourself, and what you are doing for others.

Again, being happy doesn’t mean you are living a stress-free life. It also doesn’t mean you are living a problem-free life. You are happy despite what is going on in your life.

Before you leave, when things are tough, choose happiness. Why? Because it is your choice.

First Patch The Holes

‘There’s no point in filling the bucket without first patching the holes.’- Bill Hybels

Do not forget why you are doing what you are doing. It is not about what you are doing. It is about how you are doing it.

When you are tired, take a break. Stop doing when you are tired. According to Bill, ‘When your tank is empty, you have nothing to offer anyone else. You can’t give what you don’t have.’
