There are a lot of reasons to be upset. Turn on the news, and all you hear is about the various problems, violence, and afflictions in the world. It's enough to make anyone want to draw the blinds and go back under the covers in the morning! Truth be told, sometimes it's hard to maintain an optimistic attitude when all around us are people complaint.
But have you ever run across someone who seems to always have a smile on their face? Even during difficult times, this person seems to find the positive in the situation. Do they somehow just not have the kind of problems you do? Is there life so blessed that they simply have nothing to fret over? What is their secret?!
It's bravery. They don't have things any easier than you do. Yet, in the face of adversity, when it would be easier to admit defeat and let ones hardships define them, these people instead choose to be happy. These are the people who see setbacks as reasons for comebacks. They see challenges to overcome, instead of being overcome by their challenges. They are bravely joyous in the face of despair.
Today, no matter what life throws your way, have the courage to respond with happiness.
