Resolve to be happy no matter what today.

So many people set milestones for happiness. They promise themselves that they will be happy when they have a new car, a new house, a better job, a better other half and a whole list of things that never quite seem to have an end. As soon as one milestone is reached, another is added and they find themselves living from one milestone to the other.

STOP!!!

If that’s what you’re doing, JUST STOP IT! It’s a waste of time- not that reaching milestones isn’t important- but getting to them isn’t supposed to be a measure of the beginning and end of your happiness. Rather choose to be happy wherever you are, even if it seems like there isn’t much to be happy about.

With the world economy going down the drain it seems like more than ever we have a reason to be morose and walk around like the living dead- but it doesn’t add anything to you. If anything it robs you of what you need most at this time in history- optimism. If you would just make the choice to be Happy on purpose- to even force yourself to laugh- even if other people think you’re barking mad, it will make you feel better and it might give you the clarity you need to figure out how to sort some of the problems you have. Just think- when are you most creative or persistent- when you feel encouraged and lifted. Walking around with a cloud over your head won’t make your life better- it will just keep you broody while life goes on it’s merry way.

Resolve to be happy 2day. Fake it. Trust me, you’ll feel like a much better person at the end of this day.
