Being happy no matter what

Christen Resmo reminds us:

You Can Be Happy Even When…

  • People have disappointed or betrayed you
  • Somebody else is having a bad day and gets upset when you don’t join in their misery
  • Nobody seems genuinely supportive of your goals and dreams
  • The day is falling short of your high hopes
  • You are falling short of your high expectations or you didn’t complete your to-do list
  • Nothing runs smoothly, on time or according to your plans

Coaching Tip: Being happy is a choice. Don’t let other people’s misery effect your level of joy. If you have to ignore the phone when it rings because you need a few minutes of peace, let it ring; it’s okay if the caller gets annoyed when you don’t pick up. If you don’t want to listen to the negative gossip at work, walk out of the room and seek better company. If you have an emotionally draining person in your life that you have to ignore to remain light and cheerful, ignore them. You are NOT responsible for anyone’s choice to be happy or miserable but your own. Be mature. Be your own adult. Be free to negativity today and decide to be happy, no matter what.
