Many people choose unhappiness without realizing it. For example many of us choose thoughts such as:
-Today is a bad day, everything is going to go wrong.
-I am not going to succeed.
-Everyone is against me.
-Business is bad and it will only get worse.
-I am always late.
-I never get the breaks.
-He can do it, but I can't.
Realize that the world you live in is determined by what goes on in your mind. Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman philosopher, said, "A man's life is what his thoughts make of it".
So how can you get out of these habits of thinking negative thoughts?
Here is a suggestion:
When you wake up, say to yourself, "I chose happiness today. I choose success today. I choose right action today. I choose love and goodwill for all today. I choose peace today." Pur life, love, and interest into this affirmation, and you have chosen happiness.
Give thanks for all you have several times a day. Furthermore, ask for peace, happiness, and prosperity of the members of your family, your associates, and all people everywhere.
Lastly, you must sincerely desire to be happy.
