Happiness is indeed a choice! People will walk into your lives and people will walk out of it, either on their own or simply by fate. That should not stop you from being happy.You can't simply base your life's happiness on this. Time changes and life changes and you might have to give up your most beloved possessions. Sometimes even if you will your life to stop, it won't. So happiness should be found from everything, the smallest of things. A kid smiling or an autumn leaf flying in the air or a simple gaze at an empty lane or a moment that made you tear in laughter or a time spent talking to your friend or a casual evening at your home laughing with you parents. Just about anything 'coz someday we might simply open our eyes and see that poofff!! all is gone and new things are in its stead. Not to be disheartened but that's the truth or so I have recently found. And most importantly strive to achieve and when you do, do it for yourself. In a plain straight and even way when you work hard towards something and eventually achieve it, there can be no better feeling to equate it with anything else. And sometimes it is good to do things for yourself. Not in a selfish way but simply to keep yourself happy!
