How I experience Joy

Life is short and over the years I have learned that you have to create your own happiness. It is a plus when you have someone who makes you happy, but even then, they will not make you happy all the time. I create my happiness, I do this by being mindful of how I react to things that can potentially make me unhappy. Life affects us all, there will be countless incidents and occasions that will alter our mood and our feelings but when we CHOOSE to be happy despite the situations is where we take back our power. I encounter things all the time that make me upset or unhappy, but I say to myself You can let this continue to make you miserable for the entire day, or you can say this too shall pass (I love this saying), and know that God has handled much worse situations in my life and brought me from the bottom to the top every time. You see you have to believe that you are in control of your emotions, you have to have faith that GOD is bigger than any Storm (Life situations) that comes your way. Choose to be happy, Choose to experience joy. Walk in Joy/ Not Chaos, VSJ~
