Be happy. Be happy for no reason at all. Believe it or not, you have the ability and free agency to make that choice.

Life isn’t always kind. It isn’t gentle and loving or sympathetic to the pains and sorrows of humanity. I, however, as an individual in control of my own actions, can be kind and loving, gentle and sympathetic to those around me, and in the process improve what life is for everyone.

I can choose not to get angry.I can choose not to take offense.I can choose not to dwell on criticism.I can choose to pay no heed to harsh words.I can choose to ignore negativity and see positives.I can choose to value my own opinion over those of naysayers.Through it all, I can retain my good character and choose to be kind.

I claim the right to be who I want to be. Regardless of my choice, I will find those who agree and those who don't. I will gain support, and I will confront opposition, but I will stand firmly as me. It is my choice.It is the only real choice I have to make.

God cries for us in the same way we cry for others. His tears most often spill over for the pain and suffering caused from the mortal misuse of a gift called agency. He will not revoke the gift. It was promised to us for the duration of our time on Earth. But He will hold each one of us accountable in the end for how we applied this power of agency.

Be good.See good.Choose good.It's a no-brainer.

Some decisions in life naturally lead to an unhappy ending, leaving you sinking by degrees in a lake of quicksand.  And, unless someone reaches to pull you out, chances are you will drown in the consequences.
