Today is a beautiful day! The sun is shining, spring is in the air, the birds are chirping, winter is slowly fading away. I feel inspired and energized. How do you feel today? Is the sun shining for you?
The sun shining made me think about the day. And about happiness. Happiness can be something you feel when a specific thing happens in a specific moment – like a visit with your family, having a great conversation with a close friend, a surprise birthday party or when you open that box at Christmas and realize you got EXACTLY what you wished for!
Or it can be the overall feeling you have about your life. Feeling like you’re living the life you wanted, that life is good, that you’re accomplishing the things you want to do. You feel joy and contentment more often than not. You’re just truly enjoying life! And this kind of happy is a choice.
So, my encouragement for you today is to choose to be happy today! Make this one of those days where you are intentional about living at least some aspect of the life you want. Do even one thing that makes you feel accomplished. Look for any area in your life where you see joy. Count your blessings. Bring the happiness into your life. Smile.
Happiness is a choice. I hope that today is a day filled with happiness for you!
