Define the word 'happy'. Yup just take a moment right now to think about this. Because so many people have different definitions of happiness. But the feeling is always the same. I'm just going to try to describe this feeling here. Joy. With no hesitation or no need to pretend or fake. That surprising ease of smiling or laughing. Yea thats the best I can do haha. So back to my 3rd sentence of this paragraph(calculative much?). Different definitions of happiness. For example, you're a dare devil. You love adrenaline rushes and definitely are not afraid very easily. Then theres a shy, kept to himself/herself person. Gets scared really easily, does NOT like change. Put both of them on a helicopter to go skydiving. The dare devil would probably be elated. The shy guy? Well, not so much. So obviously theres a huge difference between what we call 'happiness' depending on our personalities or likings. You can't blame someone for being a 'party-pooper' or whatever when you dragged that person into doing things that you like when he/she obviously does not want to be a part of it.
HOWEVER! There is a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference between someone who is naturally scared easily(which can be helped) and someone who just has a 'I hate everything' mindset. Of course, we have to excuse some people that are just not having a good day or just 'PMSing'. But at the same time..
Yes. Happiness is a choice. You can't blame the world and complain *whiny sassy voice* 'Oh my god, why is it so hard to be happy' or 'Oh my god, I feel so down all the time'
No.
No, no, no, no.
Cause' you know what? You are in charge of your own life. Doesn't mean if you are having a bad day that you can't smile or laugh at something that is genuinely funny to you. You can't do that and then complain that the world is just going against you. The shy guy can probably say 'Well, I might puke and might black out but oh my god im on a helicopter and I can touch the clouds. Cool.' yea that might be just me but even still you get what I mean. Are you seriously just going to sit on that god damn helicopter and cry and sulk and give everyone in the world the cold shoulder? Are you seriously going to go on for the rest of your life thinking that God is cruel and people are disgusting and selfish? Honestly, I have met way too many people like this. Why can't you just let go for once and just go for it?
If it's really something you always wanted to do but you're scared, it's okay. You can catch the second helicopter. Or the third. As long as you get on that helicopter and skydive for the first time because that was just something you really wanted to do for your whole life, you have succeeded. And I can't even explain how amazing it will feel after you let yourself feel happy and not have a care in the world. Yea you might puke in mid-air and it would get in a pigeons eye, but one day you will look back and say 'oh my god that was one of the highlights of my life' and then you would laugh at yourself for puking out your blueberry pancakes you ate that morning.
Happiness is seriously such an amazing feeling. If you really don't feel happy that day, tell yourself that if you were going to die the next day, would you rather smile today and cry tomorrow or cry both days? If you can't get yourself to be happy, smile. Force it if you have to. Studies have shown that your body has an effect on your mind. If you smile, somehow, you will feel happier.
So here is a cool pic I found....
