How is your weekend going so far? Today I came across this post on Instagram. It made me think about what makes us happy.

“Your attitude is what determines your day. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. The small things in life don’t need to be worried and stressed about so much. The alarm can be fixed. The tire can be replaced. The coffee can be refilled. The parking ticket can be paid. The keys can be found. The to-dos can get to-done. You can get some sleep. You can get some food. Maybe a snickers to satisfy.

Your life is great. You just have to allow it to be.

People don’t make you angry – you allow the anger to dwell within you. Circumstances don’t upset you – you allow yourself to get upset. You choose to worry, you choose to criticize, you choose to blame, and you choose to complain. No one else decides this for you.”

While happiness looks different for each of us, some of the few important aspects are strong healthy relationships, going with the flow of the life and taking things as they come, appreciating the present moment with gratitude, focusing on personal growth and enjoying the present moment, to name a few.
