Choose Happiness III

Choose to get help in ordeer to have happiness. If happiness is never part of your life, if you have more depression than joy, if it is almost impossible for you to experience happiness, then it is likely that something in your life is holding you back. Rather than remain in an unahppy, perssimistic state, speak to your pastor or seek out a counselor who can help you locate the problem and guide on into happiness.

One study of 4,000 respondents revealed that counseling was highly beneficial for problem such as depression, phobias, and stress. Nearly nine out of ten respondents indicated that their conditions improved significantly after counseling. In fact, 44 percent of those who entered therapy-people who had previously reported that they were in “very poor” emotional states and made statements like “I barely manage to deal with things” – said they felt much better after treatment.

Finally, choose to be happy now. Don’t fall into trap of putting happiness on hold. Too many people ignore the present and expect to be happy something in the future-when they get the promotion, find true love, earn a large income, attain great professional success, or achieve some other goal. That approach will most likely result in disappointment. Happiness does not operate on a future schedule. The right time to be happy is now.
