Happiness is a Choice

Happiness is a choice.
Life brings about many obstacles and hardships.
Sometimes we find ourselves hurt.
Sometimes we find ourselves shattered and broken,
Enveloped in the crux of despair.
There seems to be no way out.
The sadness is too strong, too gripping.
The world keeps on spinning as we find ourselves fading into the realm of forgotten memories.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Life doesn’t have to be one disappointment after another.
Happiness is a choice.
It is only in the darkest of times that the strength of the soul begins to shine.
And it is then and only then that the beautiful gift of life is so apparent,
So vivid,
And so worth the risk.
