Decide to be happy

Not a poem, just a piece of wisdom that I use on a daily basis to keep my sanity intact.

Happiness is not part of a cause-effect relationship. What happens in your life only affects your happiness if you let it. The cause-effect relationship can exist, however, if you create it in your mind. It is only an illusion; an illusion that will destroy you. Break that relationship by changing your perspective. Step way back and look at the grand scheme of things; of life, our world, and our existence. Once you can view things from a universal perspective, you will see that you are already where you need to be in the universe. Things are already falling into place as they should. 

Smile. It's what you're here to do.

This is something I have only recently come to realise, I always thought it was external forces that dictated my happiness and could never understand how others could be so much happier than me.
It's good to be reminded of this too, it's so easy to slip back into old habits.
Nice work.

You just have to remember that beyond your consciousness is just a complex web of simple machines, electricity, light, and chemistry. Your consciousness is just a program...Once we know that our systems can be manipulated, you can feel however you want. Even cracking a fake smile sends a signal to your brain that makes it release endorphins, facilitating actual feelings of joy. We, as complex machines, are just part of an even more complex machine that is the universe. We are exactly where the universe needs us at this point in time. We are a vital, albeit small, piece of one grand entity. Just be where you are, let happiness feel you.

It's all relative.
