Make A Choice And Be Happy

"Some people will never like you because your spirit irritates their demons - Denzel Washington." 

 

Happiness, they say is a state of mind and not a condition. We can choose to be happy whenever we want.

People can be happy in the most trying times as well if they so choose. 

People can be in tremendous pain, mentally or physically, and still, smile as if nothing happened to them.

Most people are sad and bitter not because of problems in their own lives but because of happiness in someone else's life.

Jealousy and envy are two of the main causes of unhappiness, bitterness, anger and dissatisfaction in today’s ultra-competitive and commercial lifestyle.

Advancement is social media has further compounded this problem.

Now a day’s everyone looks at their respective feeds on the social trying to figure out; “How in the hell do my connections manage to post so many vacation pics?” “Why is everyone else so happy?”

So this question about “How do they post so many pics?” and “Why is everyone else happy?” causes tremendous heartache, pain and unhappiness. Even though there isn’t any actual reason for these terrible reactions. 

Looking at it from the other side; even those constantly posting these updates and pics are not happy as well because they have to look for that perfect spot for that perfect selfie. They have to create a perfect pose for that perfect selfie.

In other words, even the ‘envier’ or the person posting these seem to be in pain. 

 

So, who is happy? Probably none, if we ask the question this same mundane way. But’ what if we asked the question in a different way; Who out of these can be happy? You are absolutely right the answer is, most definitely, ‘both’.

They both can be happy if they chose to accept their respective state and decide that whatever they have and wherever they are is the best they have.

This choice of being unhappy or happy lies with all of us it’s just a matter of accepting it.

Anyways, getting back to what Mr. Denzel Washington is trying to say; stay happy & smile, it is the best weapon against your enemies

People will always be envious of you, they will always try to pull you down, they will also do bad things but how you react is up to you.

Let them try their best to hurt you; you should just smile and stay happy and just cruise along.

Let your enemies keep wondering about the secret to your success, your happiness and smile and let them take all the pressure.
