Why?

December 17, 2021

Why?… Why? I can give so many reasons why people should be happy. The first is you are loved. The second is life is a gift, and the third is Appreciation and gratitude make everything better.

#1 YOU ARE LOVED. Being loved is one of the greatest reasons for being happy. You are loved. What else could you want? Think about it for a moment. Who in your lifetime has ever loved you? Let’s start with God. God created you and God loves you unconditionally. Wow. Knowing God loves you unconditionally 24/7 should create continual happiness for you. Now it is your turn. Who in your lifetime has ever loved you? Maybe they are deceased, or maybe they are still alive. Either way their love for you will live in your heart for all the days of your life. Just thinking about each person should put a smile on your face. Give it a try. Take your time. There is no rush. Also, this is not a competition. Even if one person has ever loved you. you should be happy.

#2 LIFE IS A GIFT. You did nothing to earn your existence. You came into this world loved, but undeserving. Life is a gift that keeps on giving. It is not a one-shot kind of thing. Every day is a gift. Think about it. You did nothing to deserve your life, and yet here you are living it. Wow. Take a deep breath and think about life being a gift. A gift that keeps on giving. Wow. Are you happy yet? You should be. It is beyond wonderful.

#3 APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE. Appreciating what you have and being grateful that you have it creates great happiness. Don’t think about what you don’t have and be sad. Think about what you do have and be glad. The list of what you have is unending, because everything is a gift. Life has given you the opportunity to be who you are. Life allows you to happen. Wow. You are God’s gift to you. You were created by God, and then given the opportunity to live your life. You have the tools to grow and improve as you are on your lifelong journey. You have the freedom to make choices that will allow you to fulfill your destiny. Appreciation and gratitude go a long way to being happy. Appreciate what you have and be grateful you have it. The corners of your mouth should be going up as you are reading this blog of mine.

Why? Why should you be happy? There are so many reasons. The more you think about #1, #2, and #3 the happier you will be. It is your choice whether you want to be happy or not. I am just trying to have you focus on the basics. Life is a wonderful adventure. With Christmas just around the corner, think about happy. It would be the best gift you could ever receive. Have a wonderful day. You are one incredible creation. (Deep breath)
