I know firsthand how tough life can get. I know how easy it is to succumb to darkness and and wallow in sadness and grief. I know that everyday is not always sunshine & rainbows.
I spent many years in a happiness deficit, I get it.
But I now know that we have control over our feelings, emotions and most of our experiences or at least how we choose to react to them.
It’s easy to give into the idea that we are not in control, that someone else is causing our pain and anguish, that this is the life we were “dealt” instead of believing that this is the life we have created.
But the truth is we do have control, way more control than most people allow themselves to believe. Although there are some things that, in many ways, we cannot control, majority of what we experience on a day to day basis is well within our power.
Elizabeth Gilbert said it best in Eat, Pray, Love:
”Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.”
It is up to you to choose each and every day how you want to feel, how you will act and react and who you want to be. That is the beauty of this life and being a human, we have choices and we can choose to feel amazing and have amazing experiences… or not. It’s up to you!
