Happiness is a Choice.

I have been so happy lately! Just the attitude I have been putting towards life, and the events that have happened, have just put me at a high.

I believe happiness is a choice, and happiness is the way you react and place yourself in the events in your life.

I guess it is kind of like the half-glass argument. Which actually gets on my nerves, so this will probably be the only time I will ever talk about it ever.

But let's say, I put a positive outlook towards something in my life, I am obviously going to be happier. 

For example, from Midterms, my history mark has gone down 3%. I could mope about that. But I choose to be happy about how my law mark has raised by 1%. 
Besides, I still have time to study for history.

Today I was stressed out a little about time, because I forgot I had a drivers ed lesson today, for two hours. But instead of freaking out about it, I went to it, and now I am done drivers ed. Everything worked out for time in the end, I went to the gym and worked on my Law presentation AND studied for history for an hour. I chose to look at the positive of it being my last lesson.

I've only been to the gym 2 times this week. Which sucks. But I choose to look at it this way: I am eating healthy everyday, and I *also* reflected back on some old twit pics of mine and realized HOW FREAKING BUFF I am getting. I have gained 10 pounds of muscle. So I reflected on that, and that made me happy. 

I saw a status on facebook about "nothing ever works out". It doesn't work out because you won't let it work out. Let me ask you, what do you WANT to work out? Do you want your grades higher? Study. You don't have time to study? Well, maybe you should drop some other activities in your day. You "can't". Well that my friend, is called sacrifice. I don't know how to fix your problems, but you need to ask yourself "What can I do to give myself more time in my day?". I can't tell you, but you can certainly tell yourself.

You can do anything you put your mind to.

I am one of those cheesy people that says "Anything is possible.". I actually believe in that phrase more than I actually should, because I go to the extent of honestly believing that ANYTHING is possible. For example, living after decapitation, a Canadian citizen becoming the president of the united states, or a monkey growing from my butt.

Although those are VERY unlikely to happen, I won't say they are impossible. Sure, they haven't happened yet, but you never know what could happen in the future through science, new laws, new discoveries. Just change. 

If you feel you are unhappy right now, and you don't want to change, then there is your issue right there.

Some may argue that they cannot simply "change". Of course not. Sometimes it takes years, an entire life, or even just 5 minutes. I can do it on my own, others require assistance.

But change doesn't just pop up and happen, you need to let it happen or make it happen. 

Its all in your hands. Contrary to popular belief, happiness is not something that comes to you, it is something you radiate out. 

Life Advice: JUST TRY IT.
