Happiness Is A Choice That We Make!


You may not want to hear this but If you are not a happy person that is a choice you are making. Hear me out!! You have full control over your life and the decisions that you make. There are many factors by which people measure happiness. Some people think money is happiness however, they may absolutely miserable with what they do on a daily basis to make their money.


You might look at people who have absolutely everything, and you strive to be like them. These things may be wealth, possessions, status, or even the position you hold at work. These things don’t create happiness. Happiness is a choice.


 

Happiness is Subjective


There are things in life that can make you happy that are subjective. They are subjective because happiness comes differently for everyone.


You might find joy and happiness-seeking thrills through rides like roller coasters and bungee jumping. This thrill may be more than torture for someone with a fear of heights, to be on a roller coaster, or ever jump from a bridge suspended by a bungee cord.


Everyone seeks happiness in their own way. What makes you happy is a natural high that you deserve to seek. There is nothing wrong with the things that you find joy in. You may be told you are crazy but that is because of the subjectivity. Your happiness is yours, not anyone else.



 

Naturally Happy


It is true some people are naturally happy. This is proven through a genetic disposition. This doesn’t mean that you were born to be miserable if you are not a naturally happy person. Your happiness is influenced by your genetics but it is not fixed as a determining factor. You can choose your happiness no matter what.



 

The New Year


The year 2023 brings, mainly, awareness to understand your behaviors. All this will provide the courage to move in the right direction. While 2022 was a year of making choices and building pillars, 2023 will be the time to become aware of your previous actions and filter what is relevant to your life.


However, it is not yet the time to make big climbs in the outside world. For this, you will need to get to know your inner world and integrate the transformations you have experienced so far. What are you going to do about your happiness as the new year approaches? What journeys do you expect to travel down this year?
