it is Our Choices that Define Us

This title is one I've posted before. And it has never been more apt...

In the past 10 days, I have been inundated with emails and txts and encouraging words. Why, you may ask? Well, I will give the credit where it is due... and it is because of this blog. I can't even comprehend the heartbreaking and beautiful and tragic and incredible words that have been given to me as gifts in regards to the past few blogs I've been posting.

Choose Happiness.

#Happinessisachoice

Oh. My. Goodness.

It. Is. So True.

And when you choose that happiness... when it radiates in you and from you... you'll know. You will become a light.

I'm not joking. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard that.

You will radiate light.

A light will shine from within you.

You simply... Glow. I can't describe it any other way. You're glowing...

I swear, it's not me or us. It's Him. I'm just choosing to live in the joy that He's given me. Happiness is a choice.

Love is a choice.

Positivity is a choice.

Taking an awkward or difficult situation and turning it in a positive light... that's a choice.

Taking the higher ground... that is a choice.

Refraining from saying that One Thing you really want to say... realizing in the end it does more damage than good... that is a choice.

Truly wanting the best for those who have wronged us... that is a choice.

Being content with what we have instead of always wanting more.. . that is a choice.

But how do we get there? How do we get to that point? Where we dwell in positivity and take the higher ground and we hold our tongues and we have compassion on "sinners" and we live with contentment...

I'll flesh that out in coming blogs, don't be discouraged. Maybe more questions will come than answers but you get the gist for now...
