Are you choosing to be happy?

Question

This is something that I didn't understand for a long time. I didn't know why one of my friends was always so happy. After losing the person that means to world to me, I have found that happiness is a choice. I am finding all sorts of things to be happy about enough though I am still in agony over losing this person.

Do you chose to be happy when it would be easier to be miserable?

Answer 1

Yes, some of us can choose to be happy.

However, most of us need to cognitively accept the concept of our right and ability to pursue and embrace happiness if and when it comes along.

We don't choose it.  We just accept it when it meanders by.

Answer 2

Don't worry be happy
