Happiness is a choice that you can make.
Let me say that again. Happiness is a choice you can make.
That one realization has amazing power for two reasons:
Firstly, now YOU have the power
Before, if your focus was looking for happiness OUTSIDE then the OUTSIDE had the power to make you happy or not, it had the power to determine your experience. You were at effect, it was being done to you, you were the victim... being blown around like a leaf in the wind, at the mercy of the storm. And this takes its toll. However adjusted you might be, if you look for happiness outside, deep down in the background the overall sense of your experience is tainted by your not being in control, your being a victim of circumstance.
But now you have the power. You know you determine your experience. You know that however it looks the OUTSIDE doesn't make you feel the way you do. And this one realization, once taken on board, will singularly improve your overall experience of life and happiness.
You will be strong with the power, free from the effects of circumstance and the burden of trying to change the world to make you happy! You will find it’s easier to change yourself than it is to change the whole world!
Secondly, you can choose
By becoming aware that what is going on INSIDE you determines your happiness, you get to a position where you have choice, real choice to decide to improve your life and be happier. You can take the control, step up to the plate, drive your bus... it is your choice.
Happiness is a choice that you can make - a decision.
Make the decision and this book will help you implement your new choices...
