Happiness is a choice.

We can focus on what we have OR we can focus on what we don't have.

We can focus on what has gone right OR we can focus on what has gone wrong.

But the determining factor to happiness in our lives?

When we get into a negative mindset, we can choose to shift!

Do you know someone that has everything...but they’re miserable because they focus on the "one thing" they don't have?

"Right now someone is praying for the things that you take for granted." 

That quote really struck me because regardless of what is happening in our own lives there's always someone that wishes they had the blessings that we have.

Everything is determined by how we think...how we choose to think and what we choose to focus on. Whether it's the blessings or the difficulties, it truly is up to YOU to determine what your level of happiness is in this life.

If you're struggling and feel stuck and just can't get to that mindset, this is what works for me: 

Go and serve and be in situations with those that are less fortunate. 

The purpose is not to compare, but it allows me to see all of my blessings more clearly and shift my perceptions to gratitude.
