Wake up and give happiness a chance

 
“ All our relationships fail or succeed according to the energy,
              the time and  chances that we give to them.”
                                            
  Life itself is one epic story but not necessarily a happy story for everyone. It is also  however not a completely happy story for anyone. It cannot be a completely happy story  for anyone because it is an epic story and to each story many other characters, many chapters, many twists and turns from the happiness plot.

  It cannot be a completely happy story, not because that is the nature of life and not because that is how it is supposed to be but because that is how we write the story  or allow it to unfold. The plot that is your story, thickens along the way and diverts away from happiness and even from you to focus on other characters  or something else.

 Like it or not unhappiness is a part of the story. Happiness and unhappiness are both a part of all our stories and so there can be no completely happy story for anyone. Hopefully there can also be no completely unhappy story because there are so many chances for happy moments to each story.The many chances for happiness and the many chances for unhappiness, depend on you. You are the main character to your own story, you are the story teller and the level of your happiness or unhappiness depends on you. It depends on the chances that you give each to affect your story. It depends on your actions, your reactions to other characters in your story and your state of mind.
 
 A happy place in our lives  exists because we created it or we create it. The same may be said of unhappiness. An unhappy place exists because something negative happened that created it and it stays our unhappy place because we do not easily let go of that place or events associated with it. Accordingly we give unhappiness more of a chance than happiness because of  the not letting go.
  
 The positive mind finds more reasons to be happy than unhappy because it has the ability to let go of unhappy places and events. The negative mind is more likely to hold on and accordingly finds more reasons than not to be unhappy.  If you can find more reasons to be happy, the happier you can be. It also means that the positive mind has a greater chance of finding happiness than the negative mind. The positive mind gives happiness more of a chance.

 There are some common themes and some commonalities to happiness that we should all find, but we don't, just as there are common themes to all our stories but we are not all the same.. There are somethings that should make anyone or everyone happy, but not necessarily so and maybe that is because we are all unique and what makes one person happy does not necessarily make another happy..
Think of anything that could or should make anyone or everyone happy and you will probably find that it does not. There is no single answer to happiness .Not even love or money by themselves or even together can make everyone happy.

 The answer to your own happiness is you. At the end of the day maybe it does come down to perception and or a state of mind, that leads to a state of being. A state of a positive or a negative mind frame and the chances that you give to one or the other to be the more dominant in your life.

 What if all our lives are extraordinary rather than ordinary but as a matter of perspective we see them as ordinary. What if all our lives are amazing even if not wonderful but as a matter of perspective we see them as mundane. What if it is simply perspective that fails to give happiness a chance?  You have to see the joy to the ordinary in order to give happiness a chance. IF you can also focus on the good rather than the negatives to life, you give happiness a better chance and the opportunity for more good things to follow.

   Wake up and give your happiness a chance to bloom, rather than wither away and die. Create more happy moments and happy places in your mind in order to allow happiness to shine bright in your life.
