So, you’re kind, fun, you’re loving, maybe attractive, perhaps, even successful. You figure that, with all your good qualities, dating should be a piece of cake, or life and relationships should be more effortless or rewarding. Except that’s not how it’s worked out for you, and deep down you wonder why.
I’ve come to discover that you don’t find happiness just because you’re attractive. You don’t get a healthy loving relationship just because you have a big heart or a big bank account. And you don’t fall in love simply because you deserve to.
Life doesn’t quite work that way. And that’s why sometimes it can seem unfair. But at closer look, life is fair enough - if you take responsibility for your own happiness.
Every person I’ve ever met who’s been able to move forward in life in a positive and fulfilling way have been able to do so once they understood that happiness is an acquired skill.
People, events and materials are things that can add to your happiness, but they are not the things to depend on in order to be happy.
There’s always something to complain about even in the best of times. And there’s always something to be happy about even in the worst of times. In either case, you have to choose to be happy, or you would never have a chance to be happy. So ultimately, happiness is a choice.
