Happiness is a choice. It is an intentional lifestyle, not a result.

Circumstances don’t have to align in order to be truly joyful for what you have. Don’t set conditions on your happiness; doing so robs the positive possibilities of this very moment.

If you continue to chase happiness, you will find ways for it to elude you. But if you embrace the beauty of life as it is right now, you empower yourself to be filled with unconditional joy, no matter what happens.

Choose to see joy as part of your path. Enlist it as your guide through the most challenging struggles. Today can be a good day, if you choose to make it so.

Instead of putting off happiness, simply make the choice to feel the positive emotions in every moment. The world will live by its own whims, circumstances will befall you and tough days are inevitable, but you most certainly have the strength to persevere and overcome. Be joyful as you work through the obstacles.
