My Thoughts, My Choices, My Happines.


"Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings, always darker, emptier, and simpler." Friedrich Nietzsche. 

A thought is an idea or opinion produced by thinking or occurring suddenly in the mind. Approximately 60,000 thoughts run through the mind in a day and 95% of those thoughts are the same as yesterday and the day before yesterday.

According to Wikipedia, Thinking is the mental process in which beings form psychological associations and models of the world. It is manipulating information when we form concepts, engage in problem-solving reason, and make a decision.
Lately, I have interacted with people who are not happy with how their life is. They feel lost, confused, and very empty in their hearts and souls. Their faces look happy and vibrant but their soul is sad and dead because of the dissatisfaction or confusion they feel in their life. Some are happily married and financially stable and one could think that money is enough to make them happy, but that isn’t the case.


Deciding what to eat, dress, or where to live are small decisions that we all can make without making a big deal out of them, but it is the major decisions like career direction, marriage, and parenting that can change your life forever. These are some of the tough decisions people have to make and if not seriously and keenly thought out they can result in stress and depression.

Human beings thrive and do well when the mind is at peace even when there is chaos around them. That ability to control the many thoughts that keep popping in and out of our minds. That is key for all of us, to just think strategically and not turn the brain into a ticking bomb that can explode at any time. 

People throughout the world have universal things that they go through or experience daily. Thoughts and choices are amongst those things that unite us despite the country or continent we are in.  Having random thoughts crisscrossing the brain is just but a minor challenge that we face, the major challenge is the actions or steps we take based on those thoughts. 

A wise man once said that “Three-Quarters of the things that worry man so much do not form part of the solution to the problem man has.” 

Choices we make are determined by our values, emotional state, the people around us, and the environment we were raised in or the environment we are in at that particular time. It is completely natural to avoid setbacks and disappointment. None of us look forward to bad news, delays, or frustrations. For happiness to really exist thoughts and choices should be positively embraced, because going through life without a single worry or sweat is just not possible. The choices we make in our life whether good or bad give meaning to our lives.

 
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being that can be defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Happiness and satisfaction in life go hand in hand. Happiness is a choice. One can never be completely happy without being satisfied with who they are or what they are doing. God created us to live a happy, vibrant, and fulfilling life full of purpose and direction. All of that depends entirely on us.

The thoughts we have and how we allow them to dwell in our Minds are what determine the Choices we make. All we all need to understand is that these choices need to be in line with our values. Once the thoughts and choices align then happiness will forever be our friend and close companion in all situations we face. Be it failure or triumph.
