Do you believe happiness is a choice?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 27, 2007:
Absolutely. I may forget from time to time, but happiness is definetly a choice. You always have control over your perspective and thus you can choose to be happy. I am a single mom that often struggles. I could look at this situation and turn myself into a victim, feel sorry for myself, and bitter towards the world. Instead I choose to think of this as a growing opportunity, and that I am free to raise my daughter as I see fit with only minimal interferrence from others. A lot of people thought Shakespeare is way to heavy for a 6 year old, but that is when I started taking my daughter to plays. She love A Midsummer Night's Dream. Happiness is a state of mind. People just need to remember if you can dream it you can achieve it and that for the most part the same applies to your emotiongs. If you don't like your life, change your mind. Attitude is everything.

Each person follows his or her own path. Attitude and perspective can be the difference between happiness and misery. And to look at life’s challenges as an opportunity to grow as opposed to the viewpoint of a victim, shows keen wisdom and insight. In that regard, I agree with you: happiness is your “choice”. Bless you.
