Our degree of happiness and contentment in life is simply about the choices we make. It's not about what happens to us and the uncontrollable circumstances in life. It's about how we react to life and how we deal with those uncontrollable circumstances. God gave each and every person a free will. A free will to think, feel and act in any way we choose. Our choices are directly related to the type of life we have at the moment. If we want to change our lives, then we have to do something about it. We can't sit around waiting to win the lottery without buying a lottery ticket! Life really is about perception and inner strength. How we perceive things and in turn how we let them affect us innerwardly will ultimately determine our happiness. I do believe that happiness in and of itself is actually a choice too. But it's what it takes to make one happy on the inside that one can choose or not choose to believe in.
