Happiness is a Skill

Happiness is a Skill
Happiness is a skill.
Like all skills, it requires practice.
Like all skills, some people are naturally better at it than others, but like all skills, almost everyone can develop it.
If you depend on something outside of yourself to achieve happiness, you will never tap into that inner pool where infinite joy exists.
The first step in achieving happiness is making the conscious decision to be happy.
You must choose happiness, as like all other choices, it’s an option.
The second step is to be aware that true happiness comes from within you.
The perfect relationship, financial security, achieving your ideal weight, will all bring temporary pleasure, but they will not bring lasting happiness.
Real joy can never be permanently taken away from you.
Of course, you will experience sadness, grief and confusion at times, because that’s part of the human experience, but those emotions are temporary.
Without your own, personal experience of sadness, grief and confusion , you wouldn’t develop the compassion and understanding necessary to help others.
As you practice accessing that inner state of happiness, it becomes easier to put the negative states in perspective.
Decide to be happy, no matter what.
