I truly believe that Happiness is a habit we choose. Is the glass half empty or half full? So far, there is no research evidence for a happiness gene in the Humane Genome project yet. Research suggests that 60% of who we are we inherited from our parents. The other 40% comes from our environment. I don’t have much control over the genetic blueprint I inherited. However as an adult, I have control over the environment I choose to live in, the people I associate with and where I focus my energy.
Therefore I can choose to make my life more fulfilled and more enriched by choosing to find happiness each day. Yup, I’m a detective on the hunt each day for something that will bring me joy and happiness. I consciously seek it out. I consciously manipulate my environment to make Moments of Joy happen. I begin my day with an affirmation of finding happiness and joy. As life weaves it’s way throughout the day, I reframe the day’s events by asking myself what is “happy about this situation?” In other words, I expect to find the good in every event that occurs.
If you surround yourself with people who focus on the positive, you also will focus on the positive. You can empower yourself by distancing yourself from people who are chronically negative. Their energy just drags you down. So why not begin choosing a better life for yourself this moment? You deserve the best the universe has to offer! Say an affirmation. Say a prayer telling Creator/God/Universe that you choose Happiness and Joy as a Habit for your life.
"I live a day at a time.
Each day I look for a kernel of excitement.
In the morning, I say: 'What is my exciting thing for today?'
Then, I do the day. Don't ask me about tomorrow."
