friday’s “secret” – “you have to want to be happy.”

Leave a comment

You have to want to be happy.

I posted the title, the quote, and restated the quote again because it could not be more true.  You have to WANT to be happy.  Truly want it.  Because if you want it, truly want it, you won’t let anything stop you from being so.

My hubby has told me before that when it comes our little tiffs that we get into, that he will often asks himself, “do I want to be right? Or do I want to be happy?”  He more often than not chooses to be happy over right. Of course, I do not necessarily agree with this, obviously, but it does bring up an interesting point.

Except, perhaps, in the most extreme circumstances,  happiness is something that you choose.  Despite your circumstances, you can say to yourself, “I want to be happy.  What do I need to do, in order to be happy?”  And once you know, you can go about making the necessary adjustment: choosing happiness over bitterness, having that ice cream cone, exercising for the day, cleaning out your closet…the list could go on and on.

So, my question is, and answer honestly: do you want to be happy?

Enjoy life…

friday’s “secret” – “…you should go do them!”

So, I have decided that on most Fridays, I will attempt to present my not-so-secret  “Secret” to happiness. These “secrets” are usually things that you and I have known for a long time.  It just takes a moment of “epiphany” to fully understand or “get” it and sometimes several more moments or a lot more moments to actually put them into practice.

I am very interested in what you think of each week’s secret and what you will or will not do about it in the upcoming week so please, leave your thoughts below.

You have all ready read our first “secret” of happiness.  I have found this to be one of the number one ways to be happy. Hence, I am starting my blog.:) When I was smaller, I always enjoyed writing, jotting down my thoughts, etc. but I have gotten away from it as I grew older and became more serious about life.:)

So, what have you always wanted to do?  Are you going to do it? This weekend?

enjoy life…
