Happiness Is a Choice

---

I used to believe that happiness was a function of attaining certain metrics. This amount of money in my bank account. A particular professional title. A healthy body that looked a certain way. A network of loving friends. And so forth. No matter what I achieved or where I set the bar – none of those brought happiness.

I came to realize that happiness is not something that can be acquired or bought or attained in any way.

But it can be chosen.

In fact, I found that true happiness was not a function of anything going on in the world, my body, or any other body. It was simply a choice I could make.

Let’s practice choosing happiness – the results are spectacular.
