Many people don't think they have a choice to be happy or sad.
Yet, they choose happy if someone gives them money...and sad if things don't work out the way they want.

As Dr. Wayne Dwyer says in one of his tape series:
"There is no way to happiness. There is just no way.....HAPPINESS is the way".

Or, as Alfred D. Souza said:
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

So, as you can see, you CAN choose to be happy. I once had what I called "forced optimism". Nothing, I mean NOTHING, was going well at all.
But feeling happy felt better than being sad.....so I just went around being happy ---- for the mere FUN of being happy.

Or, in other words......CHOOSE HAPPY, if no other reason ---- JUST BECAUSE it feels better to be happy than it does to be sad.

Once a lady told me she had nothing to pray about. I told her if she ever doesn't have anything to pray about....pray to thank the Lord God for giving you the OPPORTUNITY to pray to Him. You couldn't reach the president of the United States today....but RIGHT NOW you can pray to the Lord God and communicate with Him and help develop your personal relationship with Him.
Think about it.

And no matter how much money you do or don't have.....you ALWAYS have these three things"
1. Most important of all.....your relationship with the Trinity.....the Lord God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
2. Be as physically healthy as you can on a moment to moment basis.
3. Have something to do.

If you have BILLIONS of dollars or NO MONEY AT ALL....you can still develop those three things.
