I am a believer

I truly and deeply believe that a person has to choose to be happy. There are people that have lived though the worst conditions imaginable like wars of disease and they still have a smile on their faces. Then there are the ridiculous people who feel like the victims of the world because their parents broke up or the kid in chem class doesn't like them.
Anyone can be happy if they want to be happy. I understand clinical depression and other similar instances can not be helped alone but, with treatment and the desire to get better those people can almost always get better.
I believe happiness is contagious if you want to catch it. If you are feeling blue follow the laughter and let some happy rub off on you.
Walking around like with a frown and dead eyes constantly thinking about how much your life sucks is not going to help anything. instead of thinking to yourself "wow I am really unhappy and sad and my life sucks and no one understands me" think, "Thank god I am not an orphan in Africa with aids living in a rag tent hiding from mosquito's" (unless you are then, god bless).
Choose to be happy. Want to be happy. Do things to make yourself happy. avoid things that make you unhappy. Be around happy. Live happy.
I that everyone can be happy.
