Happiness is a choice.
Someone once said to me that I'd to start accepting people for who they are and stop wanting them to be the way I'd want them to be.
#1. Accept people for who they are.
And it ringed so true that I'm still stunned. I'd always wanted people to act a certain way, respond in a certain way and be a certain personality as imagined by me. What she made me realise was people aren't the people who you imagine them to be.
#2. Accept everybody around you.
When in a setting with a number of people around, few whom you love to spend some time with and the others you don't care about. I'd always hated the 'others', and it was due to them that I'd even leave the company of people I'd like just because I couldn't stand the people whom I didn't want. Another big mistake. She made me realise this when she acted so well with everyone around her. She was a great company and she taught me that being stubborn really just made me unhappy. Others didn't even have a clue what it all was about.
#3. Don't Imagine stuff and act to it, unless proven otherwise.
She'd said something and you think it over so many times that in the end it becomes a completely different story. And thinking that you'd either stay grumpy all by yourself or show unjustifiable anger. All she sees is you're always angry without any reason.
#4. Be Okay with your situation.
A lot has to do with over-expectations. What you are through presently is what is happening, getting sad over what should've happened or should be happening is pointless.
#5. Happiness is a choice.
Whatever action you take or however you feel is a choice. Being happy is one of the choices. Whatever shit maybe happening I prefer to remain happy is the mantra.
