Happiness

Happiness is a decision you make,
not an emotion you feel ...


I got this at someone else's blog at random and i decided to quote on this one.

I've been happy all this while. I guess it's a decision that I made. Instead of my emotion that was telling me that I was happy. But how do I distinguish between my decision and my emotion? There's a fine line between those two. How do we know that we are happy because we decided to be happy or we simply felt happy?

I guess a simple example could help.

Ikhwan called. Emotions: happy
Somebody who I don't like called. Decision: happy
Watched Grey's Anatomy: Emotions: happy
Stuck in jam: Decision: happy

Ok. Let me rephrase the first paragraph.

My life right now is Alhamdulillah ok. I've been happy all this while. I guess it's a decision I made and my emotions that told me that I will be happy with my decision being happy :)

When you're feeling sad or blue, you have a decision to make. You can change your life for the better. It's all in your mind. So make that decision to be happy today!
