Instead of acknowledging that my mood is a reflection of what Iâm feeling inside, itâs easier to shift the blame elsewhere. Even if things are going well overall, I can end up feeling disappointed, sad, or resentful if a situation isnât as satisfying or meaningful as Iâd imagined it would be. Itâs easy to buy into the idea that weâd be happy if only our circumstances were different. If we just had more money, a better job, a different body, more free time, less stress, fewer health issuesâyou get the ideaâthen we could live happily ever after. By putting your feelings at the mercy of your circumstances, you only succeed in making yourself miserable. Because in reality, feeling joy isnât something you achieve when the conditions are just rightâitâs a choice, and one thatâs yours to make. This week, Iâm encouraging all of us to remember that we canât always control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond to them. Life will always be imperfect, but we can choose to live joyfully anyway.
