Happiness is a choice, not a result.
Nothing will make us happy until we choose to be happy. Whatever choice we make, makes us. Choose wisely.
Two (2) things that prevent us from being happy.
1. LIVING IN THE PAST!
Past is past. That's why its called the "past". It's already done. There's no need to go back to it. Everything happens for a good purpose. There are things that we can’t control. Focus on what we can control and that should be our attitude towards things. Whatever happened in the past, whether it's good or bad -- be thankful. If we think positively, there are so many things that we can learn.
2. OBSERVING AND COMPARING OURSELVES WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Because if we do, we will not appreciate anything that we have and we will never be happy. Every person has a different story and journey. Focus on self-growth.
A flower does not think of comparing to the flower next to it, it just blooms.
