I know maybe your life is more perfect and ideal than me. I get too spiritual and it makes me more serious in life. I think now it's not the right thing to do. I help myself today by singing and dancing while working. I have happy thoughts. I think of all my favorite yummy foods. I also sing Christmas songs and latest pop songs. It's not possible to be ALWAYS happy but it's important to be happy as often as we can because it's good for our energy and positivity in life

That’s true but it is always your choice to be happy and sad. We had a talk about mental health and the speaker said that even a fake smile can somehow trigger your mind to shift away from thinking to be sad. So when you’re feeling down try faking a smile and after sometime your mood might just change.

@averygirl72 Yup that is called coping mechanism. But then you shouldn’t ignore all your problems by always faking or trying to escape from your problems that is also wrong. Acknowledge the problem but never let it allow to ruin your day.

You know I really do that I fake my smile. I really force and pretend I'm happy and it works today

I think happiness is a choice, it's a commitment to yourself that no matter what life throws at you, you will choose and you will find happiness. When I was younger, I used to place my happiness contingent upon an event happening or a person following through. As you would have guessed, it left me even more disappointed and sad.
Now that I am older, I have accepted the fact that life is not fair and there will always be things that I will never understand. There will always be people who will make it their point to put me down, or even situations that I cannot control. Amidst all these, it is up to me on how I want to handle these challenges. But at the end of the day, it always boils down to my choices.
Do what makes you happy. As long as you are not hurting anybody, I think you'll be just fine. Good luck!

I heard about that happiness is a choice. It does not depend on circumstances. It's not easy to pretend happy

I think that's true. but what is your benchmark for what it means to be happy? Do you have abundant wealth for up to seven generations or do you prefer to be close to God even though you live in poverty?
