Is Happiness a Decision or a Given?

So, I went on Google search and tried two searches :

1) Happiness is a Decision

2) Happiness is a Given

So what were the results?

Almost every article out there was on how happiness is something you decide for yourself. No one is gonna give it to you on a silver platter. Does that sound really sad and discouraging?

Don't be. This just means that rather than waiting for god knows how long for someone to give you something they might or might not want to give you, you could much more easily obtain it by just deciding that you want it.

So... what are you waiting for?

You do have to go for it....it ain't gonna find you!

It can be a difficult decision though when everything around you is going wrong, but I will keep on keeping on! :)

I totally agree with this. I have been trying to convince people around me for years that they can decide to be happy any time they want. Happiness that comes from other people or things is incredibly short-lived and temporary. But personal happiness can last as long as we want it to. Sometimes it can be really hard to remember to make that decision or to even want to, but it's always possible.

Hi! Do you notice a different on days that you wake up deciding to be happy as oppose to days that you forgot to decide so?

Yeah, definitely. When I forget to consciously decide that it will be a good day no matter what, I let small things tick me off or I end up feeling like a victim for whatever reason. And it's also incredibly hard to remember that mindset when I'm really hungry lol.
