My key to happiness

What makes a person happy?

What makes me happy?

Do I rely on others to make me feel happy?

What qualifies a person to be TRULY happy?

These are just a few of the daunting questions that I have had over the past 6 months.

Is it as easy as black and white?

I'm happy, I'm not happy.

Well I have done a lot of soul searching and I have come to realize what makes a person happy, and why this world lacks so much happiness.

Here are a few questions I asked myself.

1. What do I do that makes me happy?
2. Who makes me happy?
3. What can I do to make me happy?

I sat around, feeling depressed, because I didn't feel like I was being honest with myself.


You know those movies where things are moving super fast, but there is that one person that is moving way slower than the rest, that's how I felt.
I did not like that feeling.


Everybody is different, happiness comes in different forms.


As I thought, and thought, and thought... A few things came to mind that make me happy, one was going to church, I LOVE the gospel, I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That has always made me happy. The second thing that came to mind, was my family, I am so grateful for my family, my family isn't perfect, and we love to rile each other up, but we LOVE each other. The third thing that came to mind are my best friends, Tyler and Kirsten, they have always been there to back me up on everything, they have comforted me, they have been the life of the party! But as I thought about it, and as happy as that made me, that I finally thought I figured it out, it dawned on me...


I make the choice to be happy, happy people are happy, because they choose to be happy, they make the best out of what the have.


Its not something that just happens, but the second you learn to accept your situation and be grateful for what your Heavenly Father has blessed you with you will be happier.
