If I knew how to be happy before now, I would have chosen happiness, I know it. Since losing my mother I have had what one might call an epiphany. I have realized what it is to be happy. I am not happy because my mother passed away, I learned from losing her that I have to chose to be happy or I will live my life being unhappy.
Happiness comes through our choices that we make each and every day. When I was younger I used to think that I could find happiness in objects of other people, but I have discovered that it has nothing to do with that. Instead it has to do with me and if I am happy with myself. I am happy with myself when I make choices that I am happy with. Sometimes the choices I make don't result in the best circumstances, but I know I made the best choice I could, so therefore despite bad circumstances I am happy.
I am not perfect, sometimes I make poor choices, sometimes I stay up too late, sleep too late, or watch TV instead of do my homework...but I am still happy. I am consciously making those choices, fully aware of the consequences and I have decided that I will still be happy despite the consequences. Happiness has opened a world unknown to me in the life I lived before losing my mother. Tune in tomorrow to find out more.
