"Happiness is a choice"

"Your attitudes and behaviors toward other people can be expressions of corruption, decay, and death or expressions of life."

In life, we certainly face some challenges and sometimes, we think of life as a bed of roses. When we face challenges, we tend to give up and just do nothing at all. This is certainly the wrong attitude in facing problems. We certainly have to face things with conviction, with a purpose, with a mission, with a sense of urgency, with confidence, with a clever mind, with a planned action, with a clear conscience, and with an untainted faith in God.
Life typically is boring. But then, we can have a choice on how we live it right, ladies and gentlemen? We always have a choice. Remember that. We certainly always have a say about the way we handle things, situations, events and the like. The quote that you can see in the beginning of this entry talks about happiness. If we are to look at life, normally it is boring, nothing and simply empty. It all depends on our principles, perceptions, opinions, and beliefs on how we live it. It all depends on the aforementioned things on how our life would turn out. As Bo Sanchez said, "Happiness is a choice". It really just depends on us.
One common mistake among us is that we say "No choice". This is certainly wrong. We always have a choice. Our life is, by nature, an entity that can only be described on how we play it. Think of it as a team comprising of a roster of players. We then play the role of the team owner. We simply do what we think is right and just see on how it folds out. That essentially is life right? We do something and wait for the results of our action right? That simply justifies the fact that there is simply no saying such as "No choice."
I also believe in the principle "Everything that happens has a corresponding purpose that comes with it." I have carried this principle since my Grade 6 days - the days wherein I first matured as a human being, as a social being, and as a spiritual being. When we face problems, we connect it to evil which will then to the connotation that the devil is hounding our lives. This simply must stop. As I've said, everything has its corresponding reasons. With God in our side, we must not be afraid. We must not be rattled by problems. In fact, when problems come, I firmly believe that God simply wants us to grow out of the shell. God simply wants us to be stronger. We simply must be prepared for everything.
The saying by Charles Stanley, in my opinion, talks about everything that we do creates an impression, a reputation to other people. So we must be careful in everything that we do. Yes, we have the freedom. But then, we also must follow its concurring responsibilities for us to safeguard this liberty given to us by the Lord Almighty. We all have the right to say everything we want but we also must be careful since we might be putting our money where our mouth is in the least unexpected moment. Think of that.
In the end, life is simply a wide matter to be discussed. These are just my opinions.
