Happiness is a Choice!

No matter what life throws my way, I always tell myself, “God wouldn’t give me anything I wouldn’t be able to handle.” We all have our ups and downs and struggles wether financially or mentally but in the end, it’s how we choose to go about it is what determines our happiness and success. Life is hard enough already to stress things we can’t control, I have been finding peace in that fact alone. Life is short, we have to be grateful and thankful for what we have and remain positive and head strong in order to achieve our goals. Just wanted to spread some positivity! Hope you’re all having a great week! Be happy, smile More and stress less!

Yes, I agree. God knows what we can handle and not. Most of the time, He allows one thing or another in our lives because it is His way to remind us that we can go to Him.

Exactly and whenever we are lost or feel alone a simple prayer and positive attitude is all you need!

You are so right. Unfortunately some people have a difficult lot in life but it's how we respond to life's challenges that makes the difference.

Agreed, some of us are more fortunate than others but in the end we all have our days and stuff going on, staying positive just helps us get through the crappy days

What a lovely post. I have gotten better at not stressing about things I can't control as I have gotten older. And your right it does bring much more peace into my life.
