Yesterday, on my final day of yoga training, we were asked to speak about something that we’ve found interesting in our yoga philosophy book. (Yoga, surprisingly, is more than just physical postures, but that will be discussed at a later date!) I chose to speak about how we attach to things or people that make us happy, and avoid those that makes us unhappy. Then, when those “happy” things no longer make us happy, we turn to the next thing or person and look for our happiness there. However, instead of basing our happiness on external circumstances that we cannot control, maybe we should turn inward for true happiness–happiness that comes from a choice we make. We can internalize any experience, interaction, or thing, and decide how we will view it: as a blessing or a curse, as positive or negative, and as happiness or unhappiness. Happiness is a choice, waiting to be made by all of us.
