Being happy is only one decision away
You alone are in charge of what makes you happy, don’t leave it in the hands of others.
It is scary to think that 2024 is drawing to a close. With only a little more than seven weeks left, it feels as if this year has been on fast-forward, with all of us just hanging on for dear life in an attempt to get to the end relatively unscathed.
Realising this, and taking into account the stressful times we have had to endure for the past few years, it is no wonder we all feel tired, run down and demotivated. With everything going on around us, and our rollercoaster of emotions, there are days that we experience more feelings of unhappiness and leave us questioning life as a whole.
It is also said that you alone can determine your happiness by making a conscious decision every day to choose to be happy, and, with that in mind, a decision was made to put up our Christmas tree and brighten everything up.
So we obeyed the voice of the Christmas spirit and put all our Christmas decorations together, and within a few days, our office was transformed into a Christmas wonderland, with twinkling lights, sparkly tinsel and beautifully decorated Christmas trees.
It might seem like an insignificant thing to you, but (I may be speaking for myself) I feel a bit more motivated and excited for the rest of this year every time I walk into our festive office, which is making a marked difference to my daily mood.
My challenge to you this week is to apply this, don’t let others decide your happiness, you are the only one who can do that. Take control and do what makes you happy, and don’t fret too much about what others think about it.
Until next week, stay safe and look out for each other …
