I know that for many of us, Monday Mornings are a rough start to the week… but they keep on coming! That’s why I came up with the Monday Morning Motivation so that I am assured to start the week off in the right frame of mind. So grab your favorite cup of coffee and a comfy seat and join me for the Monday Morning motivator…
Today is simple. Choose Happiness.
In a world that is so filled with chaos, pain and hatred we could very easily be angry, resentful and cold but today I challenge you to choose happiness.
Choose to be happy during the trials. Choose to be happy during the pain. Choose to be happy amidst disappointment.
I am not saying that you should not acknowledge the reality of what’s going on but instead of focusing on the negative we have to choose to focus on the happiness. Focus on the joy. Focus on the positives. Focus on what is good because it is easy to see what is bad, hard and unjust in this world and in our own lives. It’s harder to focus on the good but that’s where the joy comes. That’s the only way we can truly be happy.
If your happiness is solely depending on external factors and you allow your circumstances to control you then like many people you will spend the majority of your life seeking but never really seeming to conquer. Happiness is a state of well-being and contentment. Happiness is a choice.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22
So today my challenge to you is choose happiness.
