Is happiness a feeling or a choice? I think it is kind of like being in love…you just know when you are. People have tried to put words to love for years; poets, songwriters, even artists but only you know what it feels like when you are in love just like only you know what it feels like when you are truly happy.
How about being happy at work? Can you get happy just because someone else is happy? Does your boss have to make you happy? Must your co-workers entertain you to make you happy? Does the type of work matter to your happiness level? Do you choose your mood or do you let your mood choose you? I believe happiness is our choice at work. No one controls my moods but me, now some people try but it is my choice to let them isn’t it? I learned a long time ago that my happiness is totally in my control. Once I realized that I had the control, my life got much less complicated.
I didn’t have to worry about what other people said to me, what other people did to me or what I heard through the grapevine because I was in control of whether I was going to let it affect me. I decided no matter what, I would give 100% of myself to my job, my co-workers and my boss despite what they said to me, how they said it or what they did. Now that doesn’t mean I don’t get upset every now and then…but my circumstances don’t affect my level of happiness! I choose to be happy, everyday.
Will you choose happiness with me? Will you create your own adventure at work or will you let other people control you? It is totally up to you!
