You + a Bad Attitude = Nothing Good
Anybody feel like positivity is this trend that you can’t get on board with? Like sometimes everyone is screaming RADIATE POSITIVITY and you realize its actually difficult? Well that is okay! Positivity and joy take work and sometimes it is even harder in the dull and bleak winter!
Happiness takes work!
It can be a hard pill to swallow, especially in college! You feel like if you aren’t at a party, or you don’t have a thousand followers, then maybe you missed something? But the truth is, that happiness fleets fast after your followers care less and the party is over. Happiness comes from putting in work! Happiness comes from waking up each morning and deciding today is a good day.
Today was a difficult one, as promised, I cried. But that is life, you face hard ones. And then you will face a good one. Today I choose to have a bad attitude. I choose to be grumpy and super anxious about my test today. I found that I struggled to make that choice to be happy…. and honestly it lead to nothing good. What we do and what we say and what we choose to feel, effects all of those around us. That is lesson #3.
10 minutes of smiling a day can make happiness stay
So choose to be happy, fight through the tears, through the doubts, through the crushing anxiety. Make that choice. Let that choice define you for the better. Allow your mind to be uplifted by joy! Happiness is a process and a goal. So achieve it!
