Why Happiness Is a Choice Once You Understand This?

Happiness is like your favorite toy, you can choose to play with it every day if you want.

Imagine you have two kinds of cookies in a jar: one is chocolate chip (which makes you happy), and the other is oatmeal (which doesn’t make you as happy). Sometimes, you get the oatmeal cookie first. That’s like when things don’t go your way, it feels boring or even sad. But if you know there's still a chance to get the chocolate chip cookie later, you can decide to be patient and wait for it.

You're like a little chef in a kitchen. Some days, the cake comes out perfect (you’re happy). Other days, the cake is lopsided (you’re not as happy). But even if the cake isn’t perfect, you can still choose to smile and say, "I made a cake!" That’s how happiness works, it's not always there, but you can pick it when it shows up.

So just like you decide which cookie to eat or whether to smile at the lopsided cake, you can choose to be happy, even on the days that aren’t perfect. Happiness is like your favorite toy, you can choose to play with it every day if you want.
