October Sunset

Happiness is a choice.

This is one of the things I have learned for the past few weeks.

It is your choice if you are going to make this day, your day, a better one or not. It is your choice whether you are going to fulfil your dreams on this day or just postpone it until you feel you have everything on their perfect places. It is your choice whether you are going to school or not. It is your choice if you’ll come late or not. It is your choice whether you are going to wake up on this day or not. It all lies on your decisions; you have your freewill. It is all your choice. Things happen the way they should be and it is still, I can say, the consequence of your choices.

Talking about choices, you can only choose between two options. Yes or no? Go or not? You cannot be at the middle. Ask yourself. Are you happy? You only got two answers. Yes or no? You cannot be in between. It’s just you’re happy or you’re not. That’s it.

We may be facing a lot of trials and challenges which we think we cannot make, fears we think we cannot conquer, and losses we think we cannot get over. But, do not give up. It’s a part of this life. (Just call it  “spices of life”. :) ) Just always remember that the sunset may come to an end and start the night, but the darkest night comes right before the dawn where the sun will shine brightly once again.

I choose to be happy. I choose to claim that this is my day and this is the day the Lord has made for me to fulfil my goals and my dreams so I’m going to seize it and make the most out of it. This is my choice. I choose not to mourn on the bad things that happened in the past because it’s all in the past and I cannot change anything about it. I better get up, get off my back and keep going. The things that happened yesterday are my experiences and I will use it to deal with the future. It has surely taught me a lot.

 

This is my day. This is the day the Lord has made for me. I am going to use it efficiently, making experiences out of it which can surely bring lessons that I can learn from. I am going to seize this day! Carpe diem!
