On Happiness

To smile or frown.

Every moment comes down to that choice.

Regardless of mood.

When you're staring at your computer screen. When you wake up. When you're walking down the sidewalk. Cool thing is, smiling actually improves your mood. (Check out this website on smiling or google it yourself).

So that means each and every moment we have the choice to be happy or sad. It doesn't matter what we're going through. Sure, there are natural optimists and pessimists, but it comes down to how we want to live.

Do we want to have fun (who doesn't?)? Or...sit and mope?

Now, depression is a real. But even depression brings the choice of being joyful through suffering and seeking help or...sitting and moping.

But....what if we are repressing our true feelings by choosing to be happy? Denying ourselves of feeling sad when we need to feel sad?

Have a good cry then, and after...smile instead of...sitting and moping.

But....what if we are denying ourselves the chance to experience depression by choosing to be happy?

Yep, I think the same thing when I brush my teeth:

....what if we're denying ourselves the chance of a root canal by choosing to brush our teeth?



People, of all the moments in all of time, we are alive now. Isn't that just the coolest thing?

So.....

Show me that beautiful smile




Isn't that better?
