Personal Growth Strategies: #3 Shifting Perspective

Happiness is a choice you make, not something that happens or doesn't happen to you. You can choose to be happy right now, no matter what you have or don't have. ​

The first step is gratitude, which involves focusing on the beauty in your life instead of the imperfections. By taking a moment to see an abundance of beauty in your life, regardless of your surroundings or circumstances, you will adopt the "attitude of gratitude." Once you can see it, appreciate it intellectually and let it give you real joy.
​​​​​​​
The time to be happy is now, the place to be happy is here, and the reasons to be happy are all around us. So, what are you waiting for? Decide for yourself, shift your perspective, and choose to be happy. See how that change affects everything else you think, see, and do. Remember, happiness is a choice you make, not something that happens or doesn't happen to you.
