Happiness

The fact is happiness is a choice. I am not saying it's always easy. Once more , focus and awareness comes to the forefront of knowing and understanding. Just coming from the state of mind of being a believer is a good place to start. Being in the state of mind of choosing to control my mind is an empowering state to approach such things as doubts, fears, worries, anger, anxiety, depression, and all of these conditions, research indicates that are rampant in North America in the 21st century, many of these start as negative thought patterns. Many of these concerns are related to stress, the stress hormone , cortisol if not quickly checked can lead towards a dis-empowering cycle.

For some people a turnaround can be a life altering experience standing at the crossroads in a quiet moment of solitude for the first time ever, to question if things could be different. Happiness is a choice. This may be a time to evaluate one's life may be even find the true purpose of life, a mission, a passion to help make a difference, a chance for one's own life to flourish. This may be born out of discovering faith a higher power for the first time ever. This can greatly help get in touch with a true sense of belonging to something outside of oneself, and far greater than the old ego driven self with all of its associated aspects of control, concerns and challenges. This can be a game changer in my humble opinion,this is where true happiness, forgiveness , compassion, love, and hope can be found. Attaining this level of faith , trust and confidence in the source, The Creator who can and will provide all the goodness and happiness of a spirit filled life, indicates that we've reached the benchmark.

This is the relationship that surpasses all others, providing unconditional love, living in this emotional, mental and spiritual state could be described as the epitome of happiness.
