How to be happy in everyday life is simple. Only you can decide if you want to be happy or miserable. True happiness comes from within ones self. Sure there are things that make us happy like our spouses, children, grandkids and material things.

Think about this for a moment. Do you like who you are or do you need people to make you like yourself? Are you content when you are alone? Don't confuse loneliness with happiness. I love my alone time. Over the years of being married, I believe my husband enjoys his time away from me. It wasn't always like that. He depended on me for his happiness. That's just too big a burden for anyone.

I choose to be happy everyday. Most of us do I am sure. We don't get up every morning and say, "I think I will be miserable today". Sure things happen in our lives that brings us down but that doesn't mean we are not happy. Being happy helps us to deal with the problems in our daily lives.

I have always believed that only one person can make me happy and that is me. If I depend on other things or other people to make me happy, then I am going to have a miserable life. Happiness comes from within your heart. I have seen other women and men who are dependent on others for their life. I have never understood that. My mom raised me to be independent. To depend on myself. My belief in God also gives me the reason to be happy. My life is a gift from God. Why misuse that gift.
