Do you think you must solve all your problems before you can allow yourself to be happy? Do you think you must deny, ignore, or run away from your problems in order to know happiness? Do you think that in order to be happy, you first acquire everything your heart desires? I hope not. If these are your thoughts then you will never be happy.
Happiness has no prerequisite other than life itself. True happiness comes from the way you choose to live and respond to the world, not from the way the world responds back. Happiness is yours, and is not dependent on, or impeded by, factors outside your control.
When you realize that that happiness doesn’t require an object, you can face any difficulty and still be happy and full of joy. It’s an attitude, not a judgment or assessment. You can be happy without being happy about anything in particular. Rather than having nothing to be happy about, be happy about nothing.
Choose to go ahead and be happy today. Choose to put a smile on your face. You’ll feel great. You’ll be remarkably more effective. Choose to be happy about nothing in particular and soon you’ll have plenty to be happy about.
