To be happy or not to be that is the choice you make
Are you unhappy right now? Did you know that you are keeping yourself there – in that state of unhappiness? When will you decide to make yourself happy instead? To be happy or not to be happy is the choice you make for your life every single day.
Having coached both women and teenagers I know that many of them believe they have no control over their emotions and how they feel – their emotions ruled them. Well one of the things I encouraged people to do was take back their life and take control by taking full responsibility for deciding how they feel.
I remember the first few months of working towards reclaiming my emotional state. I would be in the middle of being pissed off or miserable about something and I would remind myself
“Hey, you have full control over your emotions. So choose to be happy right now!”
Boy, in those early days that was no mean feat I can tell you but little by little it became easier to do and with time I was able to switch myself out of a bad mood into being happy.
If you are not a happy person that is a choice you are making. You have full control over your life and the decisions that you make.

I write on this self development blog about building self confidence, and living a life of full self expression where you are free to be you. Being able to be confident is not so much about how you think but what you feel. To successfully build self confidence you must use your thoughts to create an image of who you want to be, and your emotions to help you feel this amazing new you and then visualise & focus on it until it becomes your reality.

I love this post. I’ve always known, it seems, that being happy is a personal choice. I look at it as ~ where do you go to find out if you are happy or not?
Well, you look inside. If that is the case then, if follows, that it is a personal decision, or choice.
Never quite figured out why people choose to be unhappy.
