When I was stuck in depression... and someone told me "Happiness is a choice", I wanted to punch them in the face. That statement made me so angry. Now I know it's because I knew it was true and I was choosing to be negative, angry, sad, and lonely.
In a few short months my entire life has changed. Once you know what it's like to be in the darkness, the light is SO much brighter and warmer. I wake up every single day and choose to be positive and happy. I speak positive truths into my life; and I look at the brighter side of things. These simple changes of my words and thoughts have changed my whole world. I'm happy. I'm in love. I'm excited for the future.
So I want to challenge my readers and followers to stop for a moment and think about something in their lives that they need to be thinking differently about right now. What's something that isn't going so great or that just has you down right now? Try saying some positive things about that situation. "Things will work out. I am strong and I can get through this. God is my guide and I will trust Him completely. This will make me stronger." Try doing this with every situation that comes into your life. One situation at a time. One decision at a time. Aim for that better life.
