Do you feel unhappy and trapped in your present circumstances, struggling for a way to recapture your happiness? If you do, itt's not an uncommon feeling, especially in today's world. It's easy to believe you're trapped without choices, that you're somehow at the mercy of everything and everyone around you. It's easy to believe that somehow your happiness depends on things over which you have no control.
It's easy to believe, but is it really true? Answer this question: Who is responsible for your happiness? Shouldn't it be you?
Believe it or not, you you have complete and total control over your happiness. Here are three easy steps you can follow to begin to recapture the feeling of being happy and fulfilled in your life:
Yet the truth is you always have a choice and, in fact, doing nothing to change your circumstances is in itself, a choice. If you don't like your job, why not look for another one? If you don't want a job, why not start your own business? If you don't like where you live, why not look for somewhere else to live?
If you are like most people, the far too often you get caught in the trap of waiting for something or someone else to bring change to you, failing to realize that your happiness is your responsibility and no one else's. You always have a choice to accept things the way they are or to begin to do something about it.
When you start deliberately choosing your thoughts, all of a sudden you begin to feel inspired and you start to look at the world and your circumstances in another way. You begin to see opportunities rather than problems. You begin to shift your mindset away from being a victim of your circumstances.
If you're not willing or afraid to take an action, ask yourself how badly you really want change. If you really want it badly enough, then take responsibility for initiating the action. There's no point waiting for someone else to take action for you because that's only going to prolong the current situation in which you are unhappy.
