The Happiness Habit

It is said that happiness is a state of mind and to a certain extent, that is true. But I believe that whether we are happy or unhappy is also about the habits we have.

It is a sad fact, but a mere 33% of people consider themselves to be happy.

Why is this? We are fortunate to live in a land filled with opportunity where anyone can choose to live the life they want.

But they don’t.

Instead we see unhappiness all around us. From the impatient person queuing behind you at the post office, to the teller at the bank who looks like she would rather be anywhere else at that moment, to your neighbours, who never look up and say, “Hello.”

The main difference between the person you see happily walking down the street seemingly without a care in the world and the person next to them consumed in doubt and misery is the choices they make each and every day.

What choices will you make each and every day so you can BE happy?
