Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
I often have people say, “You’re always so positive,“ and “ You’re just so happy all of the time.” They ask me if that’s even possible, and some think its phony. Quite honestly, it’s a conscious choice. I decided that I like life better when I’m happier and I definitely have more fun when I’m in a better mood. Don’t you?
I’ve had my share of sh!t storms and crappy things happen, and guess what, they all pass. My street isn’t paved with gold, my life certainly is not all sunshine and rainbows, but I think it’s my perspective that keeps a spring in my step and a smile on my face.
A very wise man once said to me, “The day is going to happen whether you’re worried about it or not, so you might as well enjoy it!” That wise man is my husband, and while he is the more serious of the two of us, he is very right. He’ll need to print that sentence for the future! {wink, wink}
I was just in the pharmacy the other day, picking up a few little things and didn’t have cash on me and the computers went down…no credit cards were being taken. So I left my things headed a few blocks to the bank and grabbed some cash from the ATM and went back to make my purchase. The cashier told me I was a really good sport about the whole thing, I replied, it was nothing to worry about and left with a smile. Should I have given her a problem? It wasn’t her making the computer act up, and what good would it really do spewing negativity all over the store anyhow?
That’s just one small example. There are bigger problems that arise in life and most time we end up thinking that life isn’t fair or your current issue doesn’t make you happy. And you are right, it isn’t fair and circumstances aren’t really happening to make you happy or make you anything really at all. How you feel is up to you. That’s right, you’re in the driver’s seat.
I have been sad, lonely, left out, told off, messed up, broken, made bad choices, overwhelmed, and some points lost.
But look at me, I’m still here and so are you. Isn’t that something to smile about, get excited about, and be happy about!! We are both here to decide for this moment, in the present how we want to show up and feel, and I’m always going to choose positively happy.
