It's MY choice...and you don't have to like it.

posted Thursday, 21 February 2008

Good Morning, Blog World.   

Some days I wake up feeling blah.  I used to wallow in the blah feeling.  Letting it last for hours and consume me like Kudzu on a Georgia hillside.  Then I realized...I have a choice.  I can CHOOSE to be happy.  I can CHOOSE to "get over it".  I can CHOOSE to make the best out of every situation.   

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times. Some people never find it, some only pretend, but I just want to live happily ever after every now and then.

....Just every now and then.  I realized that if I had no bad times, I could not recognize any good times that came my way.  The bad times come to serve a purpose.  They help keep me on my toes.  If everything was always going good, I would get complacent and stop paying attention to details. 

 I won't focus on the trouble, just the promise of happiness after it

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

It my choice.

LOL @ Blah Blah Blah

MsNewy, you know I can relate to those feelings of blah-ness. Changing your perspective really does start within. It's not easy, but if happiness is your destiny, you are the master of your own fate.

Very wise words. I know sometimes it takes a little bit of effort to shake off the funk I'm in sometimes. But after the fact I'm always thinking WHY did I allow myself to get so upset.

I think when you focus on the negative you continue to receive negative and the same works for positivity or happiness.

I appreciate this post Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands though and get in touch with that magic and put the sparkle back in our own eye heard that song? "Sometimes you have to encourage yourself..." There's one by Amel Larrieux also you can look at it <a href="http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/670556.html">here</a>
