Happiness isn’t just a random feeling; happiness is a choice. It’s a decision that we have to make each and every day. All throughout life, you’re going to have plenty of opportunities to lose your joy. We all go through disappointments. We all have times when things don’t go our way. It’s easy to let circumstances make us sour and dejected until we end up just going through the motions of day-to-day living. But if you’re going to live in victory, if you’re going to thrive the way you are intended to, you’ve got to make the decision that you’re going to enjoy your life, whatever the circumstances. You can choose to be happy in spite of your circumstances, every single day. Pain is just a circumstance. Choose Joy!
