Happiness

There has been a lot of misconception about happiness; that it's given, it's luck and if you have happy times, you gotta have unhappy times as well.

Over the last couple of days, I finally realised. Happiness is not given or granted by anybody. It's a choice. You choose to be happy, you choose to spend your time with whoever, in the path to happiness, you made every decision that led to it.

If you choose to be upset by something you see or hear and it led to a series of reaction, you chose it.
If you choose to look on the bright side and that doesn't look too shabby, you chose it.
In the end, you will only truly be happy if you CHOOSE to be.
Otherwise, regardless of what people do or say to please you, it will never be enough.
I've learnt this the hard way and realised that what I have done was wrong.
Good thing is, it's never too late to learn to be happy and love yourself more. :)

On the same topic of choice, it's also your partner's choice to stick around. And if so, he/she is recognising that they want to share their happiness with you. Never undermine the power of choice.
